'Woman' in the Bible

To keep you from the immoral woman;From the seductress with her flattering words,

For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey [like a honeycomb]And her speech is smoother than oil;

Why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an immoral womanAnd embrace the bosom of an outsider (pagan)?

To keep you from the evil woman,From [the flattery of] the smooth tongue of an immoral woman.

But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks common sense and sound judgment and an understanding [of moral principles];He who would destroy his soul does it.

That they may keep you from the immoral woman,From the foreigner [who does not observe God’s laws and] who flatters with her [smooth] words.

And there a woman met him,Dressed as a prostitute and sly and cunning of heart.

Does not wisdom call,And understanding lift up her voice?

The foolish woman is restless and noisy;She is naive and easily misled and thoughtless, and knows nothing at all [of eternal value].

A gracious and good woman attains honor,And ruthless men attain riches [but not respect].

As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,So is a beautiful woman who is without discretion [her lack of character mocks her beauty].

The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives],But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles].

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop [on the flat roof, exposed to the weather]Than in a house shared with a quarrelsome (contentious) woman.

It is better to dwell in a desert landThan with a contentious and troublesome woman.

The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit [deep and inescapable];He who is cursed by the Lord [because of his adulterous sin] will fall into it.

For a prostitute is a deep pit,And an immoral woman is a narrow well.

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop [on the flat roof, exposed to the weather]Than in a house shared with a quarrelsome (contentious) woman.

A constant dripping on a day of steady rainAnd a contentious (quarrelsome) woman are alike;

Whoever attempts to restrain her [criticism] might as well try to stop the wind,And grasps oil with his right hand.

This is the way of an adulterous woman:She eats and wipes her mouthAnd says, “I have done no wrong.”

Under an unloved woman when she gets married,And under a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.

An excellent woman [one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous], who is he who can find her?Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls.

Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain,But a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised.
