Bible Verses About Lasciviousness: General references

To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.

For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.

For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil is her mouth,

Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house,

Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,

Lest strangers be filled with thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger,

And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,

And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.

For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out,

And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding,

Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way to her house he doth step,

In the twilight--in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness.

And, lo, a woman to meet him--(A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart,

Noisy she is , and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not.

Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) --

And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him,

`Sacrifices of peace-offerings are by me, To-day I have completed my vows.

Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee.

With ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works--cotton of Egypt.

I sprinkled my bed--myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Come, we are filled with loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.
