Proverbs 5:6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

She does not keep straight to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.

See the chapter Copy

Keep straight the path of your feet, and all your ways will be sure.

You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have done no wrong.”

For human ways are under the eyes of the Lord, and he examines all their paths.

When I think of your ways, I turn my feet to your decrees;

Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but whoever pursues evil will die.

They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

those who go to her never come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.

The foolish woman is loud; she is ignorant and knows nothing.
