  • Prov 6:24-35 : 24 They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the foreign woman. 25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her captivate you with her eyes. 26 For a prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man hunts a precious life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned? 28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet? 29 So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished. 30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. 31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay back sevenfold; he may have to give up all the wealth of his house. 32 But a man who commits adultery has no sense; he destroys himself. 33 He will suffer wounds and disgrace, and his shame will never be wiped away. 34 For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not accept any ransom, nor will he be appeased, no matter how great the gift you offer.
  • Prov 7:18-27 : 18 'Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning; let us delight ourselves with loving caresses.' 19 'For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.' 20 'He took a bag of silver with him and will not return home until the full moon.' 21 With her abundant persuasion, she entices him; with her smooth talk, she compels him. 22 He follows her all at once, like an ox going to slaughter, or like a fool to the correction of shackles. 23 Until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird rushing into a trap, not realizing it will cost him his life. 24 Now then, my sons, listen to me and pay attention to the words of my mouth. 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths. 26 For she has brought down many victims, and numerous are all those she has slain. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.
