Genesis 39:10

10 And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he ^bwould not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.

Proverbs 7:13-27

13 She seizes him and kisses him,
and with ^cbold face she says to him,
14 “I had to ^doffer sacrifices, ^{▼▼Hebrew peace offerings}
and today I have ^fpaid 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 ^gcoverings,
colored linens from ^hEgyptian linen;
17 I have perfumed my bed with ⁱmyrrh,
aloes, and ^jcinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For ^kmy 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 ^lher 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 ⁿa bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 And ^onow, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths,
26 for many a victim has she laid low,
and all her slain are ^pa mighty throng.
27 Her house is ^qthe way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.

Ecclesiastes 7:26

26 And I find something more ^rbitter than death: ^sthe woman whose heart is ^tsnares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but ^uthe sinner is taken by her.

Ezekiel 16:30-31

30 “How sick is your heart, ^{▼▼Revocalization yields How I am filled with anger against you} declares the Lord God, because you did all these things, the deeds of a brazen prostitute, 31 building your vaulted chamber at the head of every street, and making your lofty place in every square. Yet you were not like a prostitute, ^wbecause you scorned payment.
