Tao Bible - Proverbs 7:21

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
~ King James version ~

Our own unfettered desires can land us in hot water.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
In this verse, Solomon warns his son about the wiles of the harlot. It should be noted that Solomon places the onus on the woman; she supposedly has the innate ability to overpower the righteous man.

Temptations in life do exist, but only if we have the unfettered desires for them to appeal to. Harness or remove the desire and the temptation vanishes.
