So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you.”
Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;
The godly has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts the other with a net.
Oh that I had in the desert a travelers' lodging place, that I might leave my people and go away from them! For they are all adulterers, a company of treacherous men. They bend their tongue like a bow; falsehood and not truth has grown strong in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, declares the Lord. Let everyone beware of his neighbor, and put no trust in any brother, for every brother is a deceiver, and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer. Everyone deceives his neighbor, and no one speaks the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves committing iniquity.
A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
The mouth of forbidden women is a deep pit; he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.
With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.
for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
