Proverbs 5:2
That thou mayest regard discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.
In context
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, And bow thine ear to my understanding: 2 That thou mayest regard discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, And her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a twoedged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on hell.
