Women In The Bible

God warns us about the dangers of "strange women." Strange men are OK though. 2:16-19

The feet of strange women "go down to death," and "her steps take hold on hell." 5:3-5

Watch out for those evil, strange, and whorish women. 6:24-26

A woman that seduces a man is evil -- the man is just an innocent victim. 7:5-27

We are warned again about "foolish women" who are "simple" and "knoweth nothing," who drag their guests into "the depths of hell." 9:13-18

A fair woman without discretion is like a golden jewel in a pig's snout. 11:22

Avoid living with "brawling" women. 21:9, 25:24

Try not to live with "contentious" or "angry" women. 21:19

"Strange women" have "deep pits" for mouths into which fall those whom God hates. 22:14

"Whores" and "strange women" lie around waiting to trap innocent men. 23:27-28

Don't even look at any "strange women." If you do, you will utter perverse things. 23:33

"Contentious women" are like "a continual dropping on a very rainy day." There are no contentious men. Well, maybe there are a few, but they are like sunny spring days. 27:15

Adulterous women eat, wipe their mouths, and say "what a good girl am I." 30:20

One of the four things that the earth cannot bear is: an odious woman when she is married." 30:21, 23

Don't give your strength to women. 31:3

"Who can find a virtuous woman?" Virtuous men are much more common. 31:10

MY SON READS MY POETRY

It is especially nice to be appreciated by your own family. For one of his film class projects, my son Jimmy in Arlington chose to do a spoken word reading of one my poems from my Ironweed collection: "What I've Done" and illustrate it with a slideshow of his outstanding East Texas photography.

Cool. I didn't even know he read my stuff.

Here's the text:

What I've Done
by Jolie Blond (that's me)
06/08/04

What I've done,
I've done:
youthful pranks
and pointless desecrations,
sometimes from malice
sometimes for fun.

Isn't it strange
so many years later
sitting in this room
deranged,
derailed,
failed,
wondering where
I was snared
by bad decisions,
poor choices---
and if I could've
better fared
listening
to other voices,
wondering
if I should've been out
plundering career
instead of
adventure.

Isn't it queer
sitting here in fear
of the past's
retributions?

I won
most of the battles
I had begun:
I burned bridges,
slashed communications
isolated relations,
fought from ditches
and burned the witches.
I engineered all kinds of disaster
for those who crowned themself
my master.

I've still got things to do.
I can't be looking back
at the ruins of
battlefields past.
There are other battles
to be won
and what I've
already done,
I've done.
