"Adultery & Seduction,..." (40 Days of Wisdom for Lent)

My son, don’t let sinners entice you.
(Proverbs 1:10 CEB)

Wisdom will enter your mind,
and knowledge will fill you with delight.
Discretion will guard you;
understanding will protect you.
Wisdom will rescue you from the evil path,
from people who twist their words.
Wisdom will rescue you from the mysterious woman,
from the foreign woman with her slick words.
She leaves behind the partner of her youth;
she even forgets her covenant with God.
(Proverbs 2:10-12,16-17 CEB)

The lips of a mysterious woman drip honey,
and her tongue is smoother than oil,
but in the end she is bitter as gall,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead to the grave.
She doesn’t stay on the way of life.
Her paths wander, but she doesn’t know it.
(Proverbs 5:3-6 CEB)

The commandment is a lamp and instruction a light;
corrective teaching is the path of life.
They guard you from the evil woman,
from the flattering tongue of the foreign woman.
Don’t desire her beauty in secret;
don’t let her take you in with her eyelashes,
for a prostitute costs a loaf of bread,
but a married woman hunts for a man’s very life.
Can a man scoop fire into his lap
and his clothes not get burned?
If a man walks on hot coals,
don’t his feet get burned?
So is the man who approaches his neighbor’s wife;
anyone who touches her will be punished.
...
He who commits adultery is senseless.
Doing so, he destroys himself.
(Proverbs 6:23-29,32 CEB)

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister”;
call understanding “friend,”
so she might guard you against the mysterious woman,
from the foreign woman who flatters you.
When from the window of my house,
from behind the screen, I gazed down,
I looked among the naive young men
and noticed among the youth, one who had no sense.
...
She seduces him with all her talk.
She entices him with her flattery.
(Proverbs 7:4-7,21 CEB)

“Whoever is naive, come in here,”
she says to those who lack sense.
“Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
But they don’t know that the dead are there;
her guests are in the depths of the grave.
(Proverbs 9:16-18 CEB)

The righteous offer guidance to their neighbors,
but the path of the wicked makes them wander.
(Proverbs 12:26 CEB)

Violent people entice their neighbors
and walk them down a path that isn’t good.
Those who wink their eye plot destruction;
those who purse their lips plan evil.
(Proverbs 16:29-30 CEB)

The mouth of a mysterious woman is a deep pit;
those under the Lord’s wrath will fall in it.
(Proverbs 22:14 CEB)

A prostitute is a deep pit,
and a foreign woman is a narrow well.
(Proverbs 23:27 CEB)

A man who loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
but one who spends time with prostitutes destroys riches.
(Proverbs 29:3 CEB)

The words of King Lemuel of Massa, which his mother taught him:
No, my son!
No, son of my womb!
No, son of my solemn promises!
Don’t give your strength to women,
your ways to those who wipe out kings.
(Proverbs 31:1-3 CEB)
