Her house is the way to Sheol,
Descending to the chambers of death.
Does not wisdom call,
And understanding lift up her voice?
On top of the heights beside the way,
Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
— Proverbs 7:27 - 8:2

With her many persuasions she entices him;
With her flattering lips she seduces him.
Suddenly he follows her
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool,
Until an arrow pierces through his liver;
As a bird hastens to the snare,
So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
Now therefore, my sons, listen to me,
And pay attention to the words of my mouth.
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths.
For many are the victims she has cast down,
And numerous are all her slain.
— Proverbs 7:21-26
“I have sprinkled my bed
With myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
— Proverbs 7:17
“Therefore I have come out to meet you,
To seek your presence earnestly, and I have found you.
— Proverbs 7:15
So she seizes him and kisses him
And with a brazen face she says to him:
— Proverbs 7:13
She is now in the streets, now in the squares,
And lurks by every corner.
— Proverbs 7:12
She is boisterous and rebellious,
Her feet do not remain at home;
— Proverbs 7:11
In the twilight, in the evening,
In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
— Proverbs 7:9
For at the window of my house
I looked out through my lattice,
And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense,
— Proverbs 7:6-7
That they may keep you from an adulteress,
From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
— Proverbs 7:5
Keep my commandments and live,
And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
— Proverbs 7:2
For jealousy enrages a man,
And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
He will not accept any ransom,
Nor will he be satisfied though you give many gifts.
— Proverbs 6:34-35
The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense;
He who would destroy himself does it.
Wounds and disgrace he will find,
And his reproach will not be blotted out.
— Proverbs 6:32-33
So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;
Whoever touches her will not go unpunished.
Men do not despise a thief if he steals
To satisfy himself when he is hungry;
— Proverbs 6:29-30
Or can a man walk on hot coals
And his feet not be scorched?
— Proverbs 6:28
Can a man take fire in his bosom
And his clothes not be burned?
— Proverbs 6:27
Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.
— Proverbs 6:25
To keep you from the evil woman,
From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
— Proverbs 6:24
When you walk about, they will guide you;
When you sleep, they will watch over you;
And when you awake, they will talk to you.
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light;
And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
— Proverbs 6:22-23
A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.
My son, observe the commandment of your father
And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
— Proverbs 6:19-20
