Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil,

The verses around it, from Proverbs 5.
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ear to my insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.

7 So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
