In context
1 My son, to my wisdom, attend, and, to mine understanding, incline thou thine ear:
2 That thou mayest preserve discretion,—and, as for knowledge, that thy lips may guard it.
3 For, with sweet droppings, drip the lips of her that is a stranger, and, smoother than oil, is her mouth;
4 But, the latter end of her, is bitter as wormwood, sharp, as a two-edged sword!
5 Her feet, are going down to death,—on hades, will her steps take firm hold.
