  • Gen 38:23-26 : 23 Judah said, Let her keep them, lest we become a laughingstock; after all, I sent the young goat, and you did not find her. 24 About three months later, it was told Judah, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; moreover, she is pregnant by harlotry. 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, By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant. She also said, Discern, please, whose these are—the signet, the bracelets, and the staff. 26 Judah acknowledged them and said, She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he never knew her again.
  • Judg 16:19-21 : 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.

  • Prov 6:29-35 : 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.
  • Hos 4:13-14 : 13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shade thereof is good. Therefore your daughters shall commit harlotry, and your spouses shall commit adultery. 14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, nor your spouses when they commit adultery, for the men themselves are separated with harlots, and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes. Therefore, the people who do not understand shall fall.
