Proverbs 5:3

Vain flattery
For the dual lips of a stranger are a sieve of drippings,1 and the Roof of her mouth is more smooth/flattering than oil.

Footnote:

Pro. 5:3

Hebrew נפת the word is used for a sieve or honeycomb. Cf. Isaiah 30:28, בנפת שוא a sieve of vanity, i.e useless flattering words = sieve.
