Judges 16:18-21 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. ... But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
Proverbs 2:18-19 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. ... None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
Proverbs 5:3-5 For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil: ... Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

- Heb. he that is good before God,
Ecclesiastes 2:26 For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
