Pro 5:1-6
My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
Incline your ear to my understanding,

So that you may maintain discretion
And your lips may comply with knowledge.

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey,
And her speech is smoother than oil;

But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.

Her feet go down to death,
Her steps take hold of Sheol.

She does not ponder the path of life;
Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.

The son is exhorted to…
- pay attention to wisdom
- incline his ear to understanding
- maintain discretion
- speak with knowledge

Why?

Because the adulteress…
- has lips that drip with honey
- has speech smoother than oil
- is bitter as wormwood
- sharp as a two-edged sword
- has feet that will lead to death…Sheol
- does not ponder the path of life
- Is unstable in her ways
- does not know how she is
The adulteress rejects wisdom, knowledge and understanding,
Therefore, she finds herself on the path to Sheol and death.
Go not her way.
