Proverbs 5:3 in other translations
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil,
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

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.
6 Lest, the path of life, she should ponder, her tracks have wandered she knoweth not [whither].
