Psalms 18:5

5 ^athe cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

Proverbs 2:10-18

10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 ^bdiscretion will ^cwatch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to ^dwalk in the ways of darkness,
14 who ^erejoice in doing evil
and ^fdelight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose ^gpaths are crooked,
^hand who are ⁱdevious in their ways.
16 So ^jyou will be delivered from the forbidden ^{▼▼Hebrew strange} woman,
from ^lthe adulteress ^{▼▼Hebrew foreign woman} with ⁿher smooth words,
17 who forsakes ^othe companion of her youth
and forgets ^pthe covenant of her God;
18 ^qfor her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed; ^{▼▼Hebrew to the Rephaim}

Proverbs 22:5

5 ^sThorns and snares are in the way of the crooked;
whoever ^tguards his soul will keep far from them.

Ecclesiastes 7:26

26 And I find something more ^ubitter than death: ^vthe woman whose heart is ^wsnares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but ^xthe sinner is taken by her.
