Proverbs 5:1-3 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou may regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil. 

‘Attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding.’ Again the repetitive warning (4:1, 20; 5:1; 7:24) to obey godly instruction and reproof, no one will have an excuse one day to say they didn’t know (Hos. 4:6) – knowledge and wisdom have always been available to those who ask and seek it truly (Matt. 7:7-8; 21:22; John 15:7; Jas. 1:5-8; 1Jn. 3:22; 5:14-16).

‘Discretion’ [Hebrew: mezimmah] used in a good sense of judgment and discretion (1:4; 2:11; 3:21; 5:2). Translated as “intents” (Jer. 30:24) “thought” (Job 42:2; Ps. 10:4; Jer. 23:20) and “devices” in a wicked sense (Job 21:27; Ps. 10:2; 21:11; 37:7; Pro. 12:2; 14:17; Jer. 51:11).

‘Strange woman’ – Two words are used of “strange” and “stranger”: zuwr meaning an apostate Israelite woman gone over to the idolatrous impurities of heathen religion (2:16-19) and nokriy, a purely foreign woman of a similar character that was apostate to a foreign religion of which prostitution was a part to make converts. Such religions were always a snare to Israel (Num. 25:1-18).
