Proverbs 5:3
World English Bible (WEB)
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
In context
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding,
2 that you may maintain discretion, that your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
