Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words,

Wisdom will save you from a woman who commits adultery. It will save you from a sinful woman and her tempting words.

So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,

They will protect you from an evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a wayward woman.

And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a trap: her heart a net and her hands chains. The one who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

For a prostitute is a deep pit, and a wayward woman is a narrow well;

She will keep you from a forbidden woman, a wayward woman with her flattering talk.At the window of my house I looked through my lattice.I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking sense.Crossing the street near her corner, he strolled down the road to her houseat twilight, in the evening, in the dark of the night.A woman came to meet him dressed like a prostitute, having a hidden agenda.She is loud and defiant; her feet do not stay at home.Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.She grabs him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him,“ I’ve made fellowship offerings; today I’ve fulfilled my vows.So I came out to meet you, to search for you, and I’ve found you.I’ve spread coverings on my bed— richly colored linen from Egypt.I’ve perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning. Let’s feast on each other’s love!My husband isn’t home; he went on a long journey.He took a bag of silver with him and will come home at the time of the full moon.”She seduces him with her persistent pleading; she lures with her flattering talk.He follows her impulsively like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding toward a trapuntil an arrow pierces its liver, like a bird darting into a snare— he doesn’t know it will cost him his life.

When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he did successful,Joseph found favor with his master and became his personal attendant. Potiphar also put him in charge of his household and placed all that he owned under his authority.From the time that he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he owned, in his house and in his fields.He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.After some time his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said,“ Sleep with me.”But he refused.“ Look,” he said to his master’s wife,“ with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do this immense evil, and how could I sin against God?”Although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her.Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.She grabbed him by his garment and said,“ Sleep with me!” But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.

The mouth of the forbidden woman is a deep pit; a man cursed by the LORD will fall into it.

Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her words are smoother than oil,in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a double-edged sword.Her feet go down to death; her steps head straight for Sheol.She doesn’t consider the path of life; she doesn’t know that her ways are unstable.So now, sons, listen to me, and don’t turn away from the words from my mouth.Keep your way far from her. Don’t go near the door of her house.Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others and your years to someone cruel;strangers will drain your resources, and your hard-earned pay will end up in a foreigner’s house.At the end of your life, you will lament when your physical body has been consumed,and you will say,“ How I hated discipline, and how my heart despised correction.I didn’t obey my teachers or listen closely to my instructors.I am on the verge of complete ruin before the entire community.”Drink water from your own cistern, water flowing from your own well.Should your springs flow in the streets, streams in the public squares?They should be for you alone and not for you to share with strangers.Let your fountain be blessed, and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.A loving deer, a graceful doe— let her breasts always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever.Why, my son, would you lose yourself with a forbidden woman or embrace a wayward woman?

A person who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

Didn’t King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, yet foreign women drew him into sin.Why then should we hear about you doing all this terrible evil and acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”
