“My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:”
The foolish young man: for she seduces with her smooth talk and entices with her flattering lips. Her method is purely linguistic: smooth talk and flattering lips. The power of words to seduce is emphasized. Words that seem like love and attention are actually manipulation. The young man is warned to recognize seduction in its most common form: apparently caring words that are actually designed to manipulate. Discernment means seeing through flattery to the manipulative intent behind it.
