Proverbs 5:4 in Context — Proverbs 5

2 Para que guardes consejo, y tus labios conserven la ciencia.

3 Porque los labios de la extraña destilan miel, y su paladar es más blando que el aceite:

4 Mas su fin es amargo como el ajenjo, agudo como cuchillo de dos filos.

5 Sus pies descienden á la muerte; sus pasos sustentan el sepulcro:

6 Sus caminos son instables; no [los] conocerás, si no considerares el camino de vida.
