Bible verses about "whores" | MKJV

⁵ so that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words. ⁶ For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, ⁷ and I saw among the simple ones, among the youths, a young man with no understanding, ⁸ passing through the street near her corner. And he went the way to her house, ⁹ in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night. ¹⁰ And, behold, there a woman met him, with the dress of a harlot and a guarded heart. ¹¹ She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay in her house; ¹² now she is outside, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner. ¹³ And she caught him and kissed him, and with a hard face she said to him, ¹⁴ I have peace offerings with me; today I have paid my vows. ¹⁵ so I came out to meet you, earnestly to seek your face, and I have found you. ¹⁶ I have decked my bed with coverings, with striped cloths of Egyptian linen. ¹⁷ I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸ Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us delight ourselves with caresses.

¹⁷ Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ²⁰ Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. ²¹ Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works? ²³ And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness! ²⁴ Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. ²⁵ And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it did not fall, for it was founded on a rock. ²⁶ And everyone who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them shall be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand. ²⁷ And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the wind blew and beat on that house. And it fell, and great was its fall.

⁴³ And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched ⁴⁴ where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if your foot offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched

¹ The Word of Jehovah came again to me, ² Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. ³ And they fornicated in Egypt; they whored in their youth, their breasts were handled, and there their virgin nipples were worked. ⁴ And their names were Oholah, the oldest, and Oholibah, her sister. And they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah. ⁵ And Oholah whored under Me. And she lusted after her lovers, to her Assyrian neighbors, ⁶ clothed with purple, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding horses. ⁷ So she bestowed her harlotries on them, the choice sons of Assyria; with all of them, and with all whom she lusted after; she defiled herself with all their idols. ⁸ Nor did she leave her fornications from Egypt. For in her youth they lay with her, and they worked her virgin nipples, and poured their fornications on her. ⁹ Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she lusted. ¹⁰ They uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters and killed her with the sword. And she became notorious among women, and they executed judgment on her. ¹¹ And her sister Oholibah saw, she was more corrupt in her lustfulness than she, and her fornications were greater than her sister's whoredom. ¹² She lusted to the sons of Assyria, governors and rulers nearby, clothed most perfectly; horsemen riding horses, all of them desirable young men. ¹³ And I saw that she was defiled, one way was to both of them. ¹⁴ And she added to her fornications. And she saw men carved on the wall; images of the Chaldeans engraved with vermilion, ¹⁵ girded with girdles on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like rulers, like the sons of Babylon in Chaldea, the land of their birth; ¹⁶ and she lusted after them, to the sight of her eyes, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea. ¹⁷ And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with fornications. And she was defiled with them, and her mind was alienated from them. ¹⁸ So she uncovered her fornications and uncovered her nakedness. And My soul was alienated from her just as My soul was alienated from her sister. ¹⁹ Yet she multiplied her fornications to recall the days of her youth, in which she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. ²⁰ And she lusted on her lovers, whose flesh is like the flesh of asses and whose issue is like the issue of horses. ²¹ So you longed for the wickedness of your youth, when the Egyptians worked your nipples, for the sake of the breasts of your youth. ²² So, O Oholibah, the Lord Jehovah says this: Behold, I will raise up against you your lovers, from whom your soul is alienated; and I will bring them against you from all around; ²³ the Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, all of them, third heads and called ones; all of them riding on horses. ²⁴ And they shall come against you with weapons, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of peoples; buckler and shield and helmet shall set against you all around. And I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge you by their judgments. ²⁵ And I will set My jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury. They shall take away your nose and your ears, and the rest of you shall fall by the sword. They shall take away your sons and your daughters, and the rest of you shall be devoured by the fire. ²⁶ They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels. ²⁷ So I will make your wickedness to cease from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt. And you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor shall you remember Egypt any more. ²⁸ For so says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of whom your soul was alienated from them. ²⁹ And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your fornications shall be uncovered, both your wickedness and your fornications. ³⁰ These things will be done to you because you have whored after the nations, and because you are defiled with their idols. ³¹ You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand. ³² So says the Lord Jehovah: You shall drink of your sister's cup deep and large; you shall be laughed to scorn and mocked; for it holds much. ³³ with drunkenness and sorrow you are filled, the cup of horror and ruin, the cup of your sister Samaria. ³⁴ You shall even drink it and empty it. And you shall break its pieces, and tear off your own breasts. For I have spoken, says the Lord Jehovah. ³⁵ So the Lord Jehovah says this: Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, therefore bear also your wickedness and your adulteries. ³⁶ And Jehovah said to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah, and declare to them their abominations, ³⁷ that they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands? And they have committed adultery with their idols and have also caused their sons whom they bore to Me to pass through the fire to them, to devour them. ³⁸ And yet they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary in that day, and have profaned My sabbaths. ³⁹ And when they had slain their sons to their idols, then they came into My sanctuary in that day to profane it. And lo, this they have done in the midst of My house. ⁴⁰ And they have even sent for men to come from far, to whom a messenger was sent. And lo, they came. You washed yourself for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments, ⁴¹ and sat on a stately bed with a table prepared before it, on which you set My incense and My oil. ⁴² And the sound of a crowd was at ease with her; and drunkards from the wilderness were brought with the men of the host of mankind; and they put bracelets on their hands, and crowns of beauty on their heads. ⁴³ And I said about the one worn in adulteries, Will they now whore with her, and she with them? ⁴⁴ And they went in to her, as they go in to a woman of harlotry; so they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the wicked women. ⁴⁵ And as righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. ⁴⁶ For so says the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company on them, and will give them to be removed and stripped. ⁴⁷ And the company shall stone them with stones, and cut them down with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. ⁴⁸ So I will cause wickedness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught, even not to go after your wickedness. ⁴⁹ And they shall put your wickedness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

¹ Therefore be followers of God, as dear children. ² And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor. ³ For let fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness not be once named among you, as becomes saints, ⁴ neither baseness, foolish talking, jesting, which are not becoming, but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For you know this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous one (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore do not be partakers with them. ⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light ⁹ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), ¹⁰ proving what is acceptable to the Lord. ¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. ¹² For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. ¹³ But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. ¹⁴ Therefore he says, "Awake, sleeping ones! And arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light." ¹⁵ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, ¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; ²⁰ always giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. ²² Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. ²⁴ Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it, ²⁶ that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, ²⁷ that He might present it to Himself as the glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So men ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord loves the church. ³⁰ For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. ³¹ "For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be one flesh." ³² This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. ³³ But also let everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as himself, and the wife that she defers to her husband.

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ² Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), ³ so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth. ⁴ And fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. ⁵ Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ; ⁶ not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, ⁷ with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men ⁸ (knowing that whatever good thing he does, he shall receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a freeman). ⁹ And masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening, knowing that your Master also is in Heaven. There is no respect of persons with Him. ¹⁰ Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ¹³ Therefore take to yourselves the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ¹⁴ Therefore stand, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness ¹⁵ and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, ¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. ¹⁹ And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. ²¹ But, so that you also may know my affairs and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things, ²² whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you might know our affairs and that he might comfort your hearts. ²³ Peace to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
