Proverbs 2:16-19

16 So ^byou will be delivered from the forbidden ^{▼▼Hebrew strange} woman,
from ^dthe adulteress ^{▼▼Hebrew foreign woman} with ^fher smooth words,
17 who forsakes ^gthe companion of her youth
and forgets ^hthe covenant of her God;
18 ⁱfor her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed; ^{▼▼Hebrew to the Rephaim}
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.

Proverbs 5:3-8

3 For the lips of ^ka forbidden ^{▼▼Hebrew strange; also verse 20} woman drip honey,
and her speech ^{▼▼Hebrew palate} is ⁿsmoother than oil,

^qsharp as ^ra two-edged sword.
5 Her feet ^sgo down to death;
her steps follow the path to ^{▼▼Hebrew lay hold of} Sheol;
6 she ^udoes not ponder the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7 And ^vnow, 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,

Warnings Against Adultery

20 ^wMy son, keep your father’s commandment,
^xand forsake not your mother’s teaching.
21 ^yBind them on your heart always;
^ztie them around your neck.
22 ^aaWhen you walk, they ^{▼▼Hebrew it; three times in this verse} will lead you;
^acwhen you lie down, they will ^adwatch over you;
and when you awake, they will talk with you.
23 For the commandment is ^aea lamp and the teaching a light,
and the ^afreproofs of discipline are the way of life,
24 to preserve you from the evil woman, ^{▼▼Revocalization (compare Septuagint) yields from the wife of a neighbor}
from the smooth tongue of ^ahthe adulteress. ^{▼▼Hebrew the foreign woman}
25 ^ajDo not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her ^akeyelashes;

Proverbs 6:29

29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;
none who touches her ^alwill go unpunished.

Proverbs 6:32-33

32 He who commits adultery lacks sense;
he who does it destroys himself.
33 He will get wounds and dishonor,
and his disgrace will not be wiped away.

Proverbs 7:5

5 to keep you from ^amthe forbidden ^{▼▼Hebrew strange} woman,
from ^aothe adulteress ^{▼▼Hebrew the foreign woman} with her smooth words.

Proverbs 7:25-27

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 ^aqa mighty throng.
27 Her house is ^arthe way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 9:13-18

The Way of Folly

13 ^asThe woman Folly is ^atloud;
she is seductive ^{▼▼Or full of simpleness} and ^avknows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on ^awthe highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are ^axgoing straight on their way,
16 ^ay“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 ^az“Stolen water is sweet,
and ^babread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know ^bbthat the dead ^{▼▼Hebrew Rephaim} are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
