Proverbs 5:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. My son, to my wisdom be attentive,to understanding incline your ear,

2. That you may act discreetly,and your lips guard what you know.

3. Indeed, the lips of the stranger drip honey,and her mouth is smoother than oil;

4. But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,as sharp as a two-edged sword.
