The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and see where his great strength lies and how we may overpower him that we may bind him to afflict him. Then we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”

For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin regarding these things? Yet among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin.

To deliver you from the strange woman,
From the

adulteress who flatters with her words;

For the lips of an

adulteress drip honey

And smoother than oil is her speech;

Do not desire her beauty in your heart,

Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.

With her many persuasions she entices him;
With her

flattering lips she seduces him.

The mouth of

an adulteress is a deep pit;

He who is cursed of the Lord will fall into it.

And I discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

“The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
Saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
And he disguises his face.

“They were well-fed lusty horses,
Each one neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

They are all adulterers,
Like an oven heated by the baker
Who ceases to stir up the fire
From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
