“For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil,
but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.” (Proverbs 5:3-4)
Imagine biting into a honey-filled biscuit and it turns out tasting like straight up poison and cutting razors.
“And now, O sons, listen to me,
and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,
and at the end of your life you groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
and you say, “How I hated discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!”
I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors” (Proverbs 5:7-13)
