Proverbs 7:5

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

To watch thyself from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings.

See the chapter Copy

To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings;

To watch thee from the woman of evil, from the smoothness of the strange tongue.

For the lips of the strange woman will drop droppings of the honeycomb, and her palate is smooth above oil:

And wherefore, my son, wilt thou wander with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

Say to wisdom, Thou my sister; and thou shalt call knowledge to understanding:

For in the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice,

The mouth of the strange woman a deep pit: and he cursing Jehovah shall fall there.

With much of her talking she caused him to turn aside; with the smoothness of her lips she will thrust him away.
