Proverbs 5:1-3
The Voice
5 My son, stay focused; listen to the wisdom I have gained;
give attention to what I have learned about life
2 So you may be able to make sensible judgments
and speak with knowledge.
3 You see, the lips of a seductive woman speak honey-sweet words;
they are smooth like oil and enticing.
Proverbs 5:1-6
The Message
Nothing but Sin and Bones
5 1-2 Dear friend, pay close attention to this, my wisdom;
listen very closely to the way I see it.
Then you’ll acquire a taste for good sense;
what I tell you will keep you out of trouble.
3-6 The lips of a seductive woman are oh so sweet,
her soft words are oh so smooth.
But it won’t be long before she’s gravel in your mouth,
a pain in your gut, a wound in your heart.
She’s dancing down the perfumed path to Death;
she’s headed straight for Hell and taking you with her.
She hasn’t a clue about Real Life,
about who she is or where she’s going.
Proverbios 5:1-3

Advertencias sobre la mujer extraña
5 Hijo mío, presta atención(A) a mi sabiduría,
Inclina tu oído(B) a mi prudencia,
2 Para que guardes la discreción(C)
Y tus labios conserven el conocimiento(D).
3 Porque los labios de la extraña(E) destilan miel(F),
Y su lengua[a] es más suave que el aceite(G);
