  • Prov 2:16-19 : 16 to deliver you from the adulterous woman, from the loose woman who has flattered you with her words; 17 who leaves the husband from her younger days, and has ignored her marriage covenant made before God. 18 For she has set her house by death, and her paths by the place of the departed spirits. 19 None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life.

My heart spurned reproof! 13 For I did not obey my teachers and I did not heed my instructors.

She was dressed like a prostitute and with secret intent. 11 (She is loud and rebellious, she does not remain at home– 12 at one time outside, at another in the wide plazas, and by every corner she lies in wait.) 13 So she grabbed him and kissed him, and with a bold expression she said to him, 14 “I have meat from my peace offerings at home; today I have fulfilled my vows! 15 That is why I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I found you! 16 I have spread my bed with elegant coverings, with richly colored fabric from Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning, let’s delight ourselves with love’s pleasures. 19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a journey of some distance. 20 He has taken a bag of money with him; he will not return until the end of the month.” 21 She turned him aside with her persuasions; with her smooth talk she was enticing him along. 22 Suddenly he was going after her like an ox that goes to the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare 23 till an arrow pierces his liver– like a bird hurrying into a trap, and he does not know that it will cost him his life. 24 So now, sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words I speak. 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways– do not wander into her pathways; 26 for she has brought down many fatally wounded, and all those she has slain are many. 27 Her house is the way to the grave, going down to the chambers of death.
