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].

7 Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken unto me, and do not turn away from the sayings of my mouth.
