For the lips of an adulteress drip honey
And smoother than oil is her speech;

Oil and perfume make glad the heart, and the wise suggestion of a friend is sweet to the soul.

The lover of pleasure will be a poor man: the lover of wine and oil will not get wealth.

There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man swallows it up.

He who would restrain her restrains the wind,
And grasps oil with his right hand.
