Proverbs 5:1 in context

The verses around it, from Proverbs 5.

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ear to my insight,

2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.

3 Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil,

4 in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to Sheol.
