Introduction
Today we will explore the topic of wicked or evil women as described in the Bible. The Bible provides guidance and warnings about specific behaviors and characteristics that may indicate a wicked or evil woman. We will examine these passages and consider what we can learn from them about how to live a godly life.
The Seductive and Deceitful Woman
“Proverbs 6:24-25 in the New King James Version states, ‘To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a seductress. Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, nor let her allure you with her eyelids.’ This passage warns against being ensnared by the words and actions of a seductive woman.
She is depicted as a hunter who sets a trap for her prey, luring them in with her charms and then ensnaring them. The wicked woman is also characterized as deceitful and untrustworthy in this passage. She may use her words and actions to manipulate and deceive those around her to get what she wants.
It is important to be cautious and guarded against a wicked woman’s seductive and deceitful tactics, and to seek wisdom and guidance from God in navigating such situations.”
The Enticer of Young Men
“Proverbs 7:5-27 tells the story of a wicked woman who seduces a young man and leads him to his downfall. In this passage, the wicked woman is depicted as a predator who entices the young man with her words and seductive behavior.
The New King James Version states in verse 21, ‘With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, with her flattering lips she seduced him.’ This passage emphasizes the danger of being enticed by the charms of a wicked woman.
It is essential to be aware of such relationships’ potential risks and pitfalls and seek guidance and wisdom from God to avoid being led astray.”
The Seductive Speaker
“In Proverbs 9:13-18, Wisdom personified warns against the seductive words of a wicked woman. The New King James Version describes this woman as one who ‘sits in the doorway of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way.’
This passage suggests that the wicked woman uses her words and persuasive powers to lure in those who pass by, potentially leading them down a destructive path. It is important to be cautious and discerning when it comes to the words and advice of others and to seek wisdom and guidance from God to avoid being swayed by the seductive words of a wicked woman.”
The Woman Focused on Outward Appearances
“1 Timothy 2:9-10 instructs women to dress modestly and adorn themselves with good deeds rather than elaborate hairstyles and expensive jewelry. The New King James Version states, ‘In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.’
This passage suggests that a wicked woman may be characterized by her focus on outward appearances and extravagance. Instead of seeking to honor God with their actions and words, a wicked woman may be more concerned with her vanity and pleasure.
Women need to prioritize godliness and inner beauty over outward appearances.”

We have seen that a wicked woman may be seductive and deceitful, an enticer of young men, a seductive speaker, and focused on outward appearances.
