Bible Verses About Lasciviousness: General references

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

That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;

For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And 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 on Sheol;

Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house;

Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;

Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,

And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;

Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;

And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,

Passing through the street near her corner; And 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.

And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.

(She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in her house:

Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.)

So she caught him, and kissed him, Andwith an impudent face she said unto him:

Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me; This day have I paid my vows.

Therefore came I forth to meet thee, Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

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 us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.
