Proverbs 7:4 - 7:5

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”

And call understanding your intimate friend;

In order to keep you from the strange woman,

From the foreign woman who flatters with her words.

Proverbs 7:21

With her abundant persuasions she entices him;

With her flattering lips she drives him to herself.

A lying tongue hates those it crushes,

And a flattering mouth works ruin.

He who reproves a man will afterward find more favor

Than he who flatters with the tongue.

A man who flatters his neighbor

Is spreading a net for his steps.
