Bible verses about "whores" | YLT

⁵ To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings.
⁶ For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out, ⁷ And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding, ⁸ Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way to her house he doth step, ⁹ In the twilight—in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness. ¹⁰ And, lo, a woman to meet him—(A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart, ¹¹ Noisy she is, and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not. ¹² Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) — ¹³ And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him, ¹⁴ `Sacrifices of peace-offerings are by me, To-day I have completed my vows. ¹⁵ Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee. ¹⁶ With ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works—cotton of Egypt. ¹⁷ I sprinkled my bed—myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸ Come, we are filled with loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.

¹⁷ so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits. ¹⁸ A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits. ¹⁹ Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire: ²⁰ therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.
²¹ `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. <sup>22</sup> Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things? <sup>23</sup> and then I will acknowledge to them, that—I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness. <sup>24</sup> `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; ²⁷ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.'

⁴³ `And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire—the unquenchable— <sup>44</sup> where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched. <sup>45</sup> `And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire—the unquenchable—

¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of man, <sup>2</sup> Two women were daughters of one mother, <sup>3</sup> And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity. <sup>4</sup> And their names are Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names—Samaria is Aholah, And Jerusalem is Aholibah. <sup>5</sup> And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians, <sup>6</sup> Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses, <sup>7</sup> And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled. <sup>8</sup> And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her. <sup>9</sup> Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted. <sup>10</sup> They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.
<sup>11</sup> And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister. <sup>12</sup> On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them. <sup>13</sup> And I see that she hath been defiled, One way is to them both. <sup>14</sup> And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead, <sup>15</sup> Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth. <sup>16</sup> And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea. <sup>17</sup> And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them. <sup>18</sup> And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off her sister. <sup>19</sup> And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt. <sup>20</sup> And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh is the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses—their issue. <sup>21</sup> Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.
<sup>22</sup> Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about. <sup>23</sup> Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them. <sup>24</sup> And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments. <sup>25</sup> And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire. <sup>26</sup> And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels. <sup>27</sup> And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again. <sup>28</sup> For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated. <sup>29</sup> And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms. <sup>30</sup> To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols, <sup>31</sup> In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand. <sup>32</sup> Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain. <sup>33</sup> With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria. <sup>34</sup> And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained it, And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, <sup>35</sup> Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'
<sup>36</sup> And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations. ³⁷ For they have committed adultery, And blood is in their hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food. ³⁸ Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted. ³⁹ And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house, ⁴⁰ And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment. ⁴¹ And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it. ⁴² And the voice of a multitude at ease is with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads. ⁴³ And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also! ⁴⁴ And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah—the wicked women. ⁴⁵ As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they are adulteresses, And blood is in their hands. ⁴⁶ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling. ⁴⁷ And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn. ⁴⁸ And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness. ⁴⁹ And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I am the Lord Jehovah!

¹ Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved, ² and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,
³ and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints; ⁴ also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, —the things not fit—but rather thanksgiving; ⁵ for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience, ⁷ become not, then, partakers with them, ⁸ for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye, ⁹ for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, ¹⁰ proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord, ¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict, ¹² for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of, ¹³ and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light; ¹⁴ wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.' <sup>15</sup> See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise, <sup>16</sup> redeeming the time, because the days are evil; <sup>17</sup> because of this become not fools, but—understanding what is the will of the Lord, <sup>18</sup> and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit, <sup>19</sup> speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, <sup>20</sup> giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;
<sup>21</sup> subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. <sup>22</sup> The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, <sup>23</sup> because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, <sup>24</sup> but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything. <sup>25</sup> The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, <sup>26</sup> that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying, <sup>27</sup> that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; <sup>28</sup> so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife—himself he doth love; <sup>29</sup> for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord—the assembly, <sup>30</sup> because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones; <sup>31</sup> `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be—the two—for one flesh;' ³² this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; ³³ but ye also, every one in particular—let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife—that she may reverence the husband.

¹ The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous; ² honour thy father and mother, ³ which is the first command with a promise, `That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.' ⁴ And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord. ⁵ The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ; ⁶ not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of soul, ⁷ with good-will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men, ⁸ having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman. ⁹ And the masters! the same things do ye unto them, letting threatening alone, having known that also your Master is in the heavens, and acceptance of persons is not with him.
¹⁰ As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; ¹¹ put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil, ¹² because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places; ¹³ because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done—to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness, ¹⁵ and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace; ¹⁶ above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench, ¹⁷ and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God, ¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
¹⁹ and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely—as it behoveth me to speak. ²¹ And that ye may know—ye also—the things concerning me—what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord, ²² whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts. ²³ Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! ²⁴ The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.
