Where in d bible does it states that a whistling woman is an abomination on to the lord?
I have read the Bible cover to cover multiple time in King James Version and the NIV (1984) and own an exhaustive concordance and do not find that phrase or specific discussion in the Word. I would closely check the version of the Word of God you own and verify the wording in the verse with either the KJV or the Greek. You will find your answer. There is no such admonition in either the Old or in the New Testament. There is, however, a folk rhyme heard used many cultures that predicts "no good end" for a whistling woman, but nowhere in the Bible is whistling referenced pejoratively. For those interested in the folk saying here's one version "A whistling woman and a crowing hen, both will come to no good end". This misogynistic rhyme - comparing a woman who whistles with a hen about to be eaten by a wolf, is simply a way to keep women in their place. While many people can and do refer to the Bible to justify the demeaning of women - this folk rhyme/phrase is not has no Biblical origin.
