The Honey-Lipped Woman

Dear Diary,

Day 7 of the #Zip_it_40_Day_Challenge
#Shut_Down_the_Motormouth

Proverbs 5:3, “For the lips of a loose woman drip honey as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil.” Now, what gives an immoral woman power over a decent man? It’s the power of her words! Her lips drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil! How now? Yaani, she is filled with compliments and sweet words!

This is what I know, and if I know I know! From a personal experience, I have learned that a man longs to hear his woman say nice things to and about him! Now, when he misses to hear those nice things, an adulteress comes into his life. Her lips drip honey. Her speech is smoother than oil. She uses her lips and speech to reel a man in for a kill. Just like a Tilapia bites bait, the innocent man bites the honey-lipped compliments. Without realizing it, he gets hooked!

Granted! Her lips drip honey and her speech smoother than oil. Verses 4-6 tell us, “But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged and devouring sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold of Sheol (Hades, the place of the dead). She loses sight of and walks not in the path of life; her ways wind about aimlessly, and you cannot know them.”

My lady, don’t let a strange woman be the one to shower your knight with compliments! Don’t let your man get accustomed to your angry, hateful, mean and resentful speech. There are plenty of slay queens who will compliment him if you don’t! And you dear brother, please run away from that slay queen who is so generous with her compliments, it is no good thing!

Regards,
