Commentary on Proverbs 5:6
The adulteress's lips drip honey and her mouth is smoother than oil - initial appeal that conceals danger. The Hebrew 'nopheth' (honeycomb) and 'shemen' (oil) describe sensory attractiveness. Sin's deception often involves genuine pleasure that blinds to consequences. What tastes sweet initially produces bitter results (v.4). This verse warns against trusting superficial appeal without examining long-term outcomes.
