Berean Standard Bible

Proverbs 6:24-29

24to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.1

25Do not lust in your heart for her beautyor let her captivate you with her eyes.226For the levy of the prostitute is poverty,3and the adulteress preys upon your very life.27Can a man embrace fireand his clothes not be burned?28Can a man walk on hot coalswithout scorching his feet?29So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;no one who touches her will go unpunished.
