Wisdom of Ben Sira

Sira 23 

18] A man who breaks his marriage vows 

says to himself, "Who sees me? 

Darkness surrounds me, and the walls hide me, 

and no one sees me. Why should I fear? 

The Most High will not take notice of my sins." 

[19] His fear is confiined to the eyes of men, 

and he does not realize that the eyes of the Lord 

are ten thousand times brighter than the sun; 

they look upon all the ways of men, 

and perceive even the hidden places. 

[20] Before the universe was created, it was known to him; 

so it was also after it was finished. 

[21] This man will be punished in the streets of the city, 

and where he least suspects it, he will be seized. 

[22] So it is with a woman who leaves her husband 

and provides an heir by a stranger. 

[23] For first of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High; 

second, she has committed an offense against her husband; 

and third, she has committed adultery through harlotry 

and brought forth children by another man. 

[24] She herself will be brought before the assembly, 

and punishment will fall on her children. 

[25] Her children will not take root, 

and her branches will not bear fruit. 

[26] She will leave her memory for a curse, 

and her disgrace will not be blotted out. 

[27] Those who survive her will recognize 

that nothing is better than the fear of the Lord, 

and nothing sweeter than to heed the commandments of the Lord. 

Revelation 2:20-23 & Hebrews 13:4

Revelation 2:  

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou suffers that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.  

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.  

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.  

23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which search the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

 

Hebrews 13:4

Marriage is honorable amongst all and the bed is undefileable, but adulterers and whoremongers GOD shall judge. 

Psalms  1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 

 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 

 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
