It will save you from the unfaithful wife who tries to lead you into adultery with pleasing words.

Those who give false praise to their neighbors are setting a trap for them.

Wisdom and understanding will keep you away from adultery, away from the unfaithful wife and her pleasing words.

I am a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like that.
