New International Reader's Version

Proverbs 5:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Listen carefully to my wise sayings.

2. Then you will continue to have good sense. Your lips will keep on speaking words of knowledge.

3. A woman who commits adultery has lips that drip honey. What she says is smoother than oil.

4. But in the end she is like bitter poison. She cuts like a sword that has two edges.

5. Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to the grave.
