Bible verse
So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 5:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 5.
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.
6 She does not consider the path of life; she does not know that her ways are unstable.
7 So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep your path far from her; do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you concede your vigor to others, and your years to one who is cruel;
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.
11 At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body are spent,
KJV
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
ASV
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.
ERV
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
