Cyril of Jerusalem, on Prov 5:3
Cyril of Jerusalem · A.D. 313–386
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:
“What does it profit a man to be an expert theologian if he is a shameless fornicator; or to be nobly temperate but an impious blasphemer? The knowledge of doctrines is a precious possession. There is need of a vigilant soul, since many there are who would deceive you by philosophy and vain deceit. The Greeks, indeed, by their smooth tongue lead men astray, for honey drops from the lips of a harlot.”
