  • Gen 38:23-26 : 23 Judah said, 'Let her keep what she has, or we will become a laughingstock. After all, I sent her this young goat, but you didn’t find her.' 24 About three months later, Judah was told, 'Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant as a result.' Judah said, 'Bring her out and let her be burned!' 25 As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, 'I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.' And she added, 'Please examine them. Whose seal, cord, and staff are these?' 26 Judah recognized them and said, 'She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.' And he did not have relations with her again.
  • Judg 16:19-21 : 19 After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven locks of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him. 20 Then she called, 'Samson, the Philistines are upon you!' He awoke from his sleep and thought, 'I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.' But he did not know that the LORD had left him. 21 Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes, and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison.
  • Neh 13:26 : 26 Did not Solomon, king of Israel, sin because of such things? Among the many nations, there was no king like him; he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Yet, even he was led into sin by foreign women.
  • Prov 6:29-35 : 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.
  • Hos 4:13-14 : 13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, where the shade is pleasant. Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery. 14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit fornication, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go aside with harlots and sacrifice with temple prostitutes, and a people without understanding will come to ruin.
