Proverbs 5:2-4
New Century Version

2 Be careful to use good sense,
    and watch what you say.
3 The words of another man’s wife may seem sweet as honey;
    they may be as smooth as olive oil.
4 But in the end she will bring you sorrow,
    causing you pain like a two-edged sword.

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.
