Bede, on Prov 5:3
Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 5:3 · Douay-Rheims
“For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.”
On this verse:
“And her throat is smoother than oil. The Catholic faith is consecrated by the oil of the Holy Spirit, by which they who prefer their own sense to the faith of the Fathers show their throat smoother. It is evident concerning the harlot, because she seeks both the sweetness of speech and the beauty of body to capture the wretched.”
