Proverbs 6:24-33

24To keep you from the evil woman, From [the flattery of] the smooth tongue of an immoral woman.

25Do not desire (lust after) her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelashes.

26For on account of a prostitute one is reduced to a piece of bread [to be eaten up], And the immoral woman hunts [with a hook] the precious life [of a man].

27Can a man take fire to his chest And his clothes not be burned?

28Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?

29So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her will not be found innocent or go unpunished.

30People do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry;

31But when he is found, he must repay seven times [what he stole]; He must give all the property of his house [if necessary to meet his fine].

32But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks common sense and sound judgment and an understanding [of moral principles]; He who would destroy his soul does it.

33Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach (blame) will not be blotted out.
