  • Prov 6:24-35 : 24 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids. 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.

  • Judg 16:4-6 : 4 It came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5 And the lords of the Philistines came to her and said, "Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, so that we may bind him and afflict him. Every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver." 6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound to afflict you."
  • Judg 16:15-21 : 15 Then she said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times and have not told me where your great strength lies." 16 And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, that his soul was vexed to death, 17 that he told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazarite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man." 18 When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand. 19 Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him. 20 She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" So he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free." But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him. 21 Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze chains, and he became a grinder in the prison.
