But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
