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:
“For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb distilling. For in the mouth of heretics, the sweetness of eloquence not only resounds to sufficiency, but to superfluity; and for this reason, because falsehood is discerned to be aptly spoken, it is deemed truth by the foolish.”
