That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.
To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;
To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.
For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?
Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; And call understanding thy kinswoman:
For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;
The mouth of strange women is a deep pit; He that is abhorred of Jehovah shall fall therein.
With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.
