Proverbs 6:24
to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
BSB
ASV
To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.
KJV
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
To keep thee from the evil woman - Solomon had suffered sorely from this quarter; and hence his repeated cautions and warnings to others. The strange woman always means one that is not a man’s own; and sometimes it may also imply a foreign harlot, one who is also a stranger to the God of Israel.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
