Gen 39:3-12, Neh 13:26-27, Pro 5:3-20, 6:24, 7:5-23, 22:14, 23:27, Ecc 7:26 | ESV | STEP | His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands .

3 His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord ^acaused all that he did to succeed in his hands. 4 So Joseph ^bfound favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house ^cand put him in charge of all that he had. 5 From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house ^dfor Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had, in house and field. 6 So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate.

Now Joseph was ^ehandsome in form and appearance. 7 And after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” 8 But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and ^fhe has put everything that he has in my charge. 9 He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and ^gsin against God?” 10 And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he ^hwould not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.

11 But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house, 12 ⁱshe caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house.

Nehemiah 13:26-27

26 ^jDid not Solomon king of Israel sin on account of such women? ^kAmong the many nations there was no king like him, and he was ^lbeloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless, foreign women made even him to sin. 27 Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and ^mact treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?”

Proverbs 5:3-20

3 For the lips of ⁿa forbidden ^{▼▼Hebrew strange; also verse 20} woman drip honey,
and her speech ^{▼▼Hebrew palate} is ^qsmoother than oil,
4 but in the end she is ^rbitter as ^swormwood,
^tsharp as ^ua two-edged sword.
5 Her feet ^vgo down to death;
her steps follow the path to ^{▼▼Hebrew lay hold of} Sheol;
6 she ^xdoes not ponder the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7 And ^ynow, O sons, listen to me,
and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your ^zlabors go to the house of a foreigner,
11 and at the end of your life you ^aagroan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 and you say, ^ab“How I hated discipline,
and my heart ^acdespised reproof!
13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 ^adI am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation.”
15 Drink ^aewater from your own cistern,
flowing water from your own well.
16 Should your ^afsprings be scattered abroad,
streams of water ^agin the streets?
17 ^ahLet them be for yourself alone,
and not for strangers with you.
18 Let your ^aifountain be blessed,
and ^ajrejoice in ^akthe wife of your youth,
19 a lovely ^aldeer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts ^amfill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated ^{▼▼Hebrew be led astray; also verse 20} always in her love.
20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with ^aoa forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of ^apan adulteress? ^{▼▼Hebrew a foreign woman}

Proverbs 6:24

24 to preserve you from the evil woman, ^{▼▼Revocalization (compare Septuagint) yields from the wife of a neighbor}
from the smooth tongue of ^asthe adulteress. ^{▼▼Hebrew the foreign woman}

Proverbs 7:5-23

5 to keep you from ^authe forbidden ^{▼▼Hebrew strange} woman,
from ^awthe adulteress ^{▼▼Hebrew the foreign woman} with her smooth words.
6 For at ^aythe window of my house
I have looked out through my lattice,
7 and I have seen among ^azthe simple,
I have perceived among the youths,
a young man ^balacking sense,
8 passing along the street ^bbnear her corner,
taking the road to her house
9 in ^bcthe twilight, in the evening,
at ^bdthe time of night and darkness.
10 And behold, the woman meets him,
^bedressed as a prostitute, wily of heart. ^{▼▼Hebrew guarded in heart}
11 She is ^bgloud and ^bhwayward;
^biher feet do not stay at home;
12 now in the street, now in the market,
and ^bjat every corner she ^bklies in wait.
13 She seizes him and kisses him,
and with ^blbold face she says to him,
14 “I had to ^bmoffer sacrifices, ^{▼▼Hebrew peace offerings}
and today I have ^bopaid my vows;
15 so now I have come out to meet you,
to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
16 I have spread my couch with ^bpcoverings,
colored linens from ^bqEgyptian linen;
17 I have perfumed my bed with ^brmyrrh,
aloes, and ^bscinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For ^btmy husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20 he took a bag of money with him;
at full moon he will come home.”
21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with ^buher smooth talk she compels him.
22 All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast ^{▼▼Probable reading (compare Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac); Hebrew as an anklet for the discipline of a fool}
23 till an arrow pierces its liver;
as ^bwa bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.

Proverbs 22:14

14 The mouth of ^bxforbidden ^{▼▼Hebrew strange} women is ^bza deep pit;
^cahe with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.

Proverbs 23:27

27 For a prostitute is ^cba deep pit;
^ccan adulteress ^{▼▼Hebrew a foreign woman} is a narrow ^cewell.

Ecclesiastes 7:26

26 And I find something more ^cfbitter than death: ^cgthe woman whose heart is ^chsnares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but ^cithe sinner is taken by her.
