Proverbs 7:5

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words.

Ver. 5. That they may keep thee.] The "wisdom from above" can and will preserve a man from hankering after strange flesh. The world's wizards have been most of them tacked and tainted with this vice, and that by a just hand of God upon them, for the contempt of religion, Rom 1:28 which is indeed the most excellent preservative. Hence, when the apostle had said, 1Ti 4:7 "exercise godliness," he adds, as a motive, "Godliness is profitable to all things," Proverbs 7:8.
