To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;None that go unto her return again, Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

The mouth of strange women is a deep pit; He that is abhorred of Jehovah shall fall therein.

Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;

Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart shall utter perverse things.

For a harlot is a deep ditch; And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, And increaseth the treacherous among men.
