A. Beware of lusting after shallow deceitful beauty:

PRO 6:25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

PRO 31:30. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

1JOH 2:15. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1JOH 2:16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

ISA 3:16. Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

ISA 3:18. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

ISA 3:19. The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

ISA 3:20. The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

ISA 3:21. The rings, and nose jewels,

ISA 3:22. The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

ISA 3:23. The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

ISA 3:24. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

1PE 3:3. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

1PE 3:4. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

B. Beware of being beguiled by the worldly:

JOB 31:1. I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

PRO 7:6. For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

PRO 7:7. And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

PRO 7:8. Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

PRO 7:9. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

PRO 7:10. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

PRO 7:11. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

PRO 7:12. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

PRO 7:13. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

PRO 7:14. I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

PRO 7:15. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

PRO 7:16. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

PRO 7:17. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

PRO 7:18. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

PRO 7:19. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

PRO 7:20. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

PRO 7:21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

2PE 2:18. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

C. The bitter end result of being beguiled:

PRO 5:3. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

PRO 5:4. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

PRO 5:5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

PRO 5:6. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

PRO 5:7. Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

PRO 5:8. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

PRO 5:9. Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

PRO 5:10. Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

PRO 5:11. And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

PRO 5:12. And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

PRO 5:13. And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

PRO 7:21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

PRO 7:22. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

PRO 7:23. Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

PRO 6:26. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

PRO 14:12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

JDG 16:4. And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

JDG 16:5. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

JDG 16:6. And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.

JDG 16:16. And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

JDG 16:21. 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.

PRO 7:25. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

PRO 7:26. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

PRO 7:27. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

PRO 9:13. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

PRO 9:14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

PRO 9:15. To call passengers who go right on their ways:

PRO 9:16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

PRO 9:17. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

PRO 9:18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

PRO 23:27. For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

PRO 23:28. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

2SA 13:1. And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2SA 13:2. And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.

2SA 13:3. But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.

2SA 13:28. Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

2SA 13:29. And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.

D. Resist it with the power of the Word:

PRO 2:1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

PRO 2:2. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

PRO 2:3. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

PRO 2:4. If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

PRO 2:5. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

PRO 2:6. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

PRO 2:7. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

PRO 2:8. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

PRO 2:9. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

PRO 2:10. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

PRO 2:11. Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

PRO 2:12. To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

PRO 2:13. Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

PRO 2:16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

PRO 2:17. Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

PRO 2:1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

PRO 2:2. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

PRO 2:3. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

PRO 2:4. If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

PRO 2:5. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

PRO 2:6. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

PRO 2:7. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

PRO 2:8. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

PRO 2:9. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

PRO 2:10. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

PRO 2:11. Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

PRO 6:23. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

PRO 6:24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

LUK 4:5. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

LUK 4:6. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

LUK 4:7. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

LUK 4:8. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

LUK 4:9. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

LUK 4:10. For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

LUK 4:11. And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

LUK 4:12. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

PRO 7:1. My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

PRO 7:2. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

PRO 7:3. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

PRO 7:4. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
