Proverbs 7:21

³For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

⁵that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.

⁸One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.

²Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

²⁹They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.

²⁴to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.

¹⁴For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.

¹⁵She said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”

¹⁶When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled to death. ¹⁷He told her all his heart and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”

¹⁵When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

²³But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
