  • Prov 5:4-9 : 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are unstable, so that you cannot know them. 7 Hear me now therefore, O children, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove your way far from her, and do not come near the door of her house: 9 Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth, and your labors be in the house of a stranger; 11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me! 14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
  • Prov 6:26-35 : 26 For by means of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire into his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry; 31 But if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he who does it destroys his own soul. 33 A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is a husband's fury: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he be content, though you give many gifts.
  • Prov 7:22-27 : 22 He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Until a dart strikes through his liver; as a bird hastes to the snare, and does not know that it is for his life. 24 Therefore listen to me now, O children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not your heart incline to her ways, do not stray in her paths. 26 For she has cast down many wounded; indeed, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
