Ecclesiastes 7:26
And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a trap: her heart a net and her hands chains. The one who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner will be captured by her.
-
Proverbs 23:27
For a prostitute is a deep pit, and a wayward woman is a narrow well;
-
Proverbs 6:24-29
They will protect you from an evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a wayward woman.Don’t lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyelashes.For a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man goes after a precious life.Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?Can a man walk on burning coals without scorching his feet?So it is with the one who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
-
Proverbs 2:16-19
It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,who abandons the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;for her house sinks down to death and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.None return who go to her; none reach the paths of life.

Psalms 81:12
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own plans.
-
Judges 16:20-21
Then she cried,“ Samson, the Philistines are here!” When he awoke from his sleep, he said,“ I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had left him.The Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes. They brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles, and he was forced to grind grain in the prison.

Nehemiah 13:26
Didn’t King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, yet foreign women drew him into sin.

Proverbs 7:5-27
She will keep you from a forbidden woman, a wayward woman with her flattering talk.At the window of my house I looked through my lattice.I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking sense.Crossing the street near her corner, he strolled down the road to her houseat twilight, in the evening, in the dark of the night.A woman came to meet him dressed like a prostitute, having a hidden agenda.She is loud and defiant; her feet do not stay at home.Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.She grabs him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him,“ I’ve made fellowship offerings; today I’ve fulfilled my vows.So I came out to meet you, to search for you, and I’ve found you.I’ve spread coverings on my bed— richly colored linen from Egypt.I’ve perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning. Let’s feast on each other’s love!My husband isn’t home; he went on a long journey.He took a bag of silver with him and will come home at the time of the full moon.”She seduces him with her persistent pleading; she lures with her flattering talk.He follows her impulsively like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding toward a trapuntil an arrow pierces its liver, like a bird darting into a snare— he doesn’t know it will cost him his life.Now, sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words from my mouth.Don’t let your heart turn aside to her ways; don’t stray onto her paths.For she has brought many down to death; her victims are countless.Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.

Deuteronomy 32:19
When the LORD saw this, he despised them, angered by his sons and daughters.

Proverbs 5:3-23
Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her words are smoother than oil,in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a double-edged sword.Her feet go down to death; her steps head straight for Sheol.She doesn’t consider the path of life; she doesn’t know that her ways are unstable.So now, sons, listen to me, and don’t turn away from the words from my mouth.Keep your way far from her. Don’t go near the door of her house.Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others and your years to someone cruel;strangers will drain your resources, and your hard-earned pay will end up in a foreigner’s house.At the end of your life, you will lament when your physical body has been consumed,and you will say,“ How I hated discipline, and how my heart despised correction.I didn’t obey my teachers or listen closely to my instructors.I am on the verge of complete ruin before the entire community.”Drink water from your own cistern, water flowing from your own well.Should your springs flow in the streets, streams in the public squares?They should be for you alone and not for you to share with strangers.Let your fountain be blessed, and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.A loving deer, a graceful doe— let her breasts always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever.Why, my son, would you lose yourself with a forbidden woman or embrace a wayward woman?For a man’s ways are before the LORD’s eyes, and he considers all his paths.A wicked man’s iniquities will trap him; he will become tangled in the ropes of his own sin.He will die because there is no discipline, and be lost because of his great stupidity.
