"For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil: "
— Proverbs 5:3, American Standard Version
“For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:”
“For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,”
“For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her seductive words are smoother than olive oil,”
“For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.”
“For honey is dropping from the lips of the strange woman, and her mouth is smoother than oil;”
“For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:”
My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding:
That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;
So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, andshe knoweth it not.
