Numbers 26:18-19 (best in NAB I think)

is he who deceives his neighbor and then says
"I was only joking."

I once was in a Bible study where we focused on women of the Old Testament, specifically prostitutes. We adopted the slogan "Beware of spreading trees!" after their repeated references in the OT.

[quote]Isaiah 57:5
You burn with lust among the oaks and under every spreading tree; you sacrifice your children in the ravines and under the overhanging crags.[/quote]

[quote]Jeremiah 2:20
"Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds; you said, 'I will not serve you!' Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute.[/quote]

[quote]Jeremiah 3:6
[ Unfaithful Israel ] During the reign of King Josiah, the LORD said to me, "Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there.[/quote]
