Women in Proverbs
- God warns us about the dangers of "strange women." Strange men are OK
though. 2:16-19
- The feet of strange women "go down to death," and "her steps take hold on
hell." 5:3-5
- Watch out for those evil, strange, and whorish women. 6:24-26
- A woman that seduces a man is evil -- the man is just an innocent victim.
7:5-27
- We are warned again about "foolish women" who are "simple" and "knoweth
nothing," who drag their guests into "the depths of hell." 9:13-18
- A fair woman without discretion is like a golden jewel in a pig's snout.
11:22
- Avoid living with "brawling" women. 21:9, 25:24
- Try not to live with "contentious" or "angry" women. 21:19
- "Strange women" have "deep pits" for mouths into which fall those whom
God hates. 22:14
- "Whores" and "strange women" lie around waiting to trap innocent men.
23:27-28
- Don't even look at any "strange women." If you do, you will utter
perverse things. 23:33
- "Contentious women" are like "a continual dropping on a very rainy day."
There are no contentious men. Well, maybe there are a few, but they are
like sunny spring days. 27:15
- Adulterous women eat, wipe their mouths, and say "what a good girl am I."
30:20
- One of the four things that the earth cannot bear is: an odious woman
when she is married." 30:21, 23
- Don't give your strength to women. 31:3
- "Who can find a virtuous woman?" Virtuous men are much more common. 31:10
