5 And I will come near you for judgment;
I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,

Against those who (B)exploit wage earners and (C)widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

Proverbs 7:18-27
New King James Version
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
Let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For [a]my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey;
20 He has taken a bag of money [b]with him,
And will come home [c]on the appointed day.”
21 [d]With (A)her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
(B)With her flattering lips she [e]seduced him.
22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or [f]as a fool to the correction of the [g]stocks,
23 Till an arrow struck his liver.
(C)As a bird hastens to the snare,
He did not know it [h]would cost his life.
24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths;
26 For she has cast down many wounded,
And (D)all who were slain by her were strong men.
27 (E)Her house is the way to [i]hell,
Descending to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 6:24-35
New King James Version
24 (A)To keep you from the evil woman,
From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
25 (B)Do not lust after her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
26 For (C)by means of a harlot
A man is reduced to a crust of bread;
(D)And [a]an adulteress will (E)prey upon his precious life.
27 Can a man take fire to his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one walk on hot coals,
And his feet not be seared?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;
Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
30 People do not despise a thief
If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
31 Yet when he is found, (F)he must restore sevenfold;
He may have to give up all the substance of his house.
32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman (G)lacks understanding;
He who does so destroys his own soul.
33 Wounds and dishonor he will get,
And his reproach will not be wiped away.
34 For (H)jealousy is a husband’s fury;
Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will [b]accept no recompense,
Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.

17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,

And her paths to the dead;
