²⁴ To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

⁵ To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings.

²⁶ And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart `is' nets and snares, her hands `are' bands; the good before God escapeth from her, but the sinner is captured by her.
