The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: He that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thine heart shall utter froward things.
For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the stranger's tongue.
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the stranger which flattereth with her words.
Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
For I hate putting away, saith the LORD, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
