Say to [skillful and godly] wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And regard understanding and intelligent insight as your intimate friends;

That they may keep you from the immoral woman,
From the foreigner [who does not observe God’s laws and] who flatters with her [smooth] words.

With her flattering lips she seduced him.

A lying tongue hates those it wounds and crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.

He who [appropriately] reprimands a [wise] man will afterward find more favor
Than he who flatters with the tongue.

Is spreading a net for his own feet.
