Proverbs 7:5

New American Bible - revised edition

That they may keep you from a stranger, from the foreign woman with her smooth words.

See the chapter Copy

Saving you from a stranger, from a foreign woman with her smooth words,

Keeping you from another’s wife, from the smooth tongue of the foreign woman.

Indeed, the lips of the stranger drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil;

Why then, my son, should you be intoxicated with a stranger, and embrace another woman?

Say to Wisdom, “You are my sister!” Call Understanding, “Friend!”

For at the window of my house, through my lattice I looked out

The mouth of the foreign woman is a deep pit; whoever incurs the Lord’s anger will fall into it.

She wins him over by repeated urging, with her smooth lips she leads him astray.
