Ecclesiastes 7:26
And I find something more bitter than death: the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.
-
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
-
Psalms 57:4
My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
-
Proverbs 9:18
But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
-
Psalms 55:21
His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
-
Proverbs 7:22-23
All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fasttill an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
-
Hebrews 12:15-16
See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no“ root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.

Proverbs 6:24-35
to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
-
Proverbs 23:27-28
For a prostitute is a deep pit; an adulteress is a narrow well.She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.

Judges 16:4-6
After this he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her,“ Seduce him, and see where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to humble him. And we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”So Delilah said to Samson,“ Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you.”

Judges 16:15-21
And 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 you have not told me where your great strength lies.”And when she pressed him hard with her words day after day, and urged him, his soul was vexed to death.And he told her all his heart, and said to her,“ A razor has never come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If my head is shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man.”When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called the lords of the Philistines, saying,“ Come up again, for he has told me all his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hands.She made him sleep on her knees. And she called a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.And she said,“ The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said,“ I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles. And he ground at the mill in the prison.
