Adultery » Adulterers and adulteresses
If a man commits adultery with the wife of an Israelite, both he and the woman should be put to death.
Verse Concepts
If a man is caught having sexual intercourse with another mans wife, then both of them shall die! Both the man and the woman committing adultery must be killed. Thus you shall purge the evil from Israel.
Verse Concepts
This will keep you from the evil woman and from the smooth tongue of an adulterous woman. Do not lust after her beauty in your heart. Do not let her attract you with her eyelids. A prostitute will cost you your last crust of bread. An adulteress will cost you your life. read more.
Can a man have fire in his lap and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be burned? He who has sex with another mans wife; anyone who embraces her will not be innocent. Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. But if he is caught, he must repay sevenfold. He must give everything in his house. He who commits adultery with a woman lacks judgment and destroys himself. He will get wounds and be dishonored. His shame will not be wiped away. Jealousy enrages a man. He will not be spared in the day of vengeance.

There are three things that are too wonderful for me, yes, four I do not know: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the middle of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. Such is the way of an adulterous woman. She eats and wipes her mouth, and says: I have done no wickedness.

Let marriage be honorable among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled: for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
Verse Concepts
Adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity (hatred) (hostility) toward God? Whoever would be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

To the angel of the congregation in Thyatira write: This is the message from the Son of God, whose eyes blaze like fire, whose feet shine like polished brass. I know your works. I know your love, your faithfulness, your service, and your patience. I know that you are doing more now than you did at first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads my servants astray so that they commit immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. read more.
I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality. Watch this! I am going to throw her into a sickbed. Those who commit sexual sins with her will also suffer much trouble, unless they repent and turn away from what she is doing.

Verse Concepts
Understanding » Who is void of understanding
This I say therefore, and testify (affirm) in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the nations also walk, in the vanity (futility) (depravity) of their mind (thinking). They are darkened (blinded) (obscured) in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart. They are past feeling. They have given themselves over to loose conduct, to work all uncleanness with greediness (a lust for more).
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread. He who follows worthless people lacks sense.

Verse Concepts
for when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God. They did not thank him and were vain in their reasoning, for their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools. They changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
All who make idols are nothing. The things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind. They are shamefully ignorant. Who shapes a god and casts a useless and good for nothing idol. He and his kind will be put to shame. Craftsmen are merely men. Let them all come together and take their stand for they will be brought down to terror and infamy. read more.
The blacksmith takes a tool and works with it in the coals. He shapes an idol with hammers; he forges it with the might of his arm. He gets hungry and loses his strength. He drinks no water and grows faint. The carpenter measures with a line and makes an outline with a red chalk marker. He roughs it out with chisels and marks it with a compass. He shapes it in the form of man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine. He cut down cedars, or cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow. It is man's fuel for burning so he takes some to warm himself. He kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also fashions a god and worships it. Yes he makes an idol and bows down to it. Half of the wood they burn in the fire. Over this half they roast meat that they can eat until they are full. They also warm themselves and say: We are warm. We can see the fire! But the rest of the wood they make into gods, carved statues. They bow to them and worship them. They pray to them and say: Rescue us, because you are our gods. They do not know or understand anything. Their eyes are plastered shut and cannot see. Their minds are closed and therefore they cannot understand. No one stops to think. No one has enough knowledge or understanding to say: I burned half of the wood in the fire. I also baked bread over its coals. I roasted meat and ate it. Now I am making the rest of the wood into a disgusting thing and bowing to a block of wood.

Women » Wicked » Full of deceit and licentiousness
I find what was worse than death is the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands are chains. He who pleases God will escape from her. But she will capture the sinner.
Verse Concepts
The lips of an immoral woman drip as a honeycomb. Her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edged sword. Her feet go down to death. Her steps take hold of the grave. read more.
She does not ponder the path of life. Her unstable ways she does not know. Hear me now my son. Do not depart from the words of my mouth. Keep far away from her. Do not go near the door of her house. You will give your honor (majesty) to others and your years to the cruel one. Strangers will be filled with your financial strength. Strangers will benefit from your hard work. You mourn at last, when your flesh and your body are consumed. You say: How I have hated instruction! My heart despised reproof. I did not obey the voice of my teachers. I did not listen to my instructors! I was very near total ruin in the midst of the congregation. Drink water from your own cistern. Drink running water from your own well. Should your waters overflow in the streets, like streams of water in public places? Let them be yours alone. Do not share with strangers. Let your fountain be blessed. Rejoice with the wife of your youth. She is like a loving deer and a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Always be delighted with her love. Why will you be intimate with an immoral woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

You will be able to resist any immoral woman who tries to seduce you with her smooth talk. She is unfaithful to her own husband and forgets her sacred vows to God. If you go to her house, you are traveling the road to death. To go there is to approach the dead. read more.

I looked out the window of my house. I saw among the simple ones, I discerned among the youth, a young man without understanding. He passed through the street near her corner. He went to her house. read more.
In the twilight, in the evening, in the darkness of the night: He met an evil hearted woman dressed seductively like an immoral woman. She is loud and rebellious and never stays at home. Now in the streets and squares, she waits at every corner. She put her arms around him and kissed him, and with an impudent look she said: I have peace offerings with me since I paid my vows. So I came to meet you and seek your presence. I found you. I covered my bed with fine linen from Egypt. I perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come; let us take our fill of love until morning. Let us comfort ourselves with love. My husband is not at home. He went on a long trip. He took a bag of money with him. He will come home at the appointed day. She seduced him with her persuasive words. She forced him with her flattering lips. He immediately goes after her. He is like a bull that goes to the slaughter. Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, Till a dart strikes through his liver. The bird hurries to the snare without knowing it would cost his life. Listen to me dear sons and pay attention to the words of my mouth. Do not let your heart go after her ways. Do not stray in her paths. She has wounded many. Many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to the grave, going down to the chambers of death.

You are an unfaithful wife who would rather have sex with strangers than with your own husband.
