Proverbs 5:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 you will have sound judgment,
and you will always know
    the right thing to say.
3 The words of an immoral woman
may be as sweet as honey
    and as smooth as olive oil.
4 But all that you really get
from being with her
    is bitter poison and pain.

Proverbs 5:2-4
New International Version

2 that you may maintain discretion
    and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
    and her speech is smoother than oil;(A)
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,(B)
    sharp as a double-edged sword.
