For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil,
to preserve you from the wife of another, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
that they may keep you from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
You ask, “Why does he not?” Because the Lord was a witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
For I hate divorce, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and covering one’s garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless.
