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.
-
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
-
Psalms 57:4
I am surrounded by lions; I lie down among devouring lions— people whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
-
Proverbs 9:18
But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
-
Psalms 55:21
His buttery words are smooth, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, but they are drawn swords.
-
Proverbs 7:22-23
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.
-
Hebrews 12:15-16
Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and defiling many.And make sure that there isn’t any immoral or irreverent person like Esau, who sold his birthright in exchange for a single meal.

Proverbs 6:24-35
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.People don’t despise the thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry.Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much; he must give up all the wealth in his house.The one who commits adultery lacks sense; whoever does so destroys himself.He will get a beating and dishonor, and his disgrace will never be removed.For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.He will not be appeased by anything or be persuaded by lavish bribes.
-
Proverbs 23:27-28
For a prostitute is a deep pit, and a wayward woman is a narrow well;indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber and increases the number of unfaithful people.

Judges 16:4-6
Some time later, he fell in love with a woman named Delilah, who lived in the Sorek Valley.The Philistine leaders went to her and said,“ Persuade him to tell you where his great strength comes from, so we can overpower him, tie him up, and make him helpless. Each of us will then give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”So Delilah said to Samson,“ Please tell me, where does your great strength come from? How could someone tie you up and make you helpless?”

Judges 16:15-21
“ How can you say,‘ I love you,’” she told him,“ when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have mocked me and not told me what makes your strength so great!”Because she nagged him day after day and pleaded with him until she wore him out,he told her the whole truth and said to her,“ My hair has never been cut, because I am a Nazirite to God from birth. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become weak and be like any other man.”When Delilah realized that he had told her the whole truth, she sent this message to the Philistine leaders:“ Come one more time, for he has told me the whole truth.” The Philistine leaders came to her and brought the silver with them.Then she let him fall asleep on her lap and called a man to shave off the seven braids on his head. In this way, she made him helpless, and his strength left him.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.
