" My son, pay attention to my wisdom, and incline your ear to my prudence, "
— Proverbs 5:1, Catholic Public Domain Version
“My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:”
“My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding: ”
“My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding:”
“Admonition to Avoid Seduction to Evil My child, be attentive to my wisdom, pay close attention to my understanding,”
“My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence,”
“My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:”
“My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:”
My son, pay attention to my wisdom, and incline your ear to my prudence,
so that you may guard your thinking, and so that your lips may preserve discipline. Do not pay attention to the deceit of a woman.
For the lips of a loose woman are like a dripping honeycomb, and her voice is smoother than oil.
But in the end, she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
