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,

Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.

It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,

To rescue you from the strange woman, From the foreign woman who flatters with her words,

To deliver you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words,

To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, from a stranger with her flattering talk,

To deliver thee from the strange woman,[ even] from the stranger[ which] flattereth with her words;

to deliver you from the adulteress, from the sexually loose woman who speaks flattering words;

to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.

I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.

that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:“ Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.

His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well- built and handsome.After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said,“ Lie with me.”But he refused, and said to his master’s wife,“ Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.She caught him by his garment, saying,“ Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.

The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh’s wrath will fall into it.

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two- edged sword.Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.Remove your way far from her. Don’t come near the door of her house,lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,and say,“ How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!I have come to the brink of utter ruin, among the gathered assembly.”Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.A loving doe and a graceful deer— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?

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

Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?”
