For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
For the lips of a strange woman (note, Proverbs 2:16 ) drop (as) as an honey-comb. "Thy lips," by "keeping knowledge" (Proverbs 5:2) of "the fear of the Lord," and "the judgments of the Lord," which are, in reality as well as appearance, "sweater than honey and the honey- comb" (Psalms 19:10), will counteract her "lips," which only in appearance "drop as an honey-comb." Her mouth is smoother than oil - (Psalms 55:21,) which the oil of grace alone can counteract.
