Proverbs 6:20-35
20My son, keep the commandment of thy father,And forsake not the law of thy mother:21Bind them continually upon thy heart;Tie them about thy neck.22When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee;And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.23For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:24To keep thee from the evil woman,From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.25Lust not after her beauty in thy heart;Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.26For on account of a harlota man is broughtto a piece of bread;And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.27Can a man take fire in his bosom,And his clothes not be burned?28Or can one walk upon hot coals,And his feet not be scorched?29So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife;Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.30Men do not despise a thief, if he stealTo satisfy himself when he is hungry:31But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold;He shall give all the substance of his house.32He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding:He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.33Wounds and dishonor shall he get;And his reproach shall not be wiped away.34For jealousy is the rage of a man;And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.35He will not regard any ransom;Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
