Proverbs 6:20-35
20My sonH1121, keepH5341 your father’sH1 commandmentH4687, and do notH408 forsakeH5203 your mother’sH517 teachingH8451.21Bind themH7194 alwaysH8548 uponH5921 your heartH3820; tie themH6029 aroundH5921 your neckH1621.22When you walkH1980, they will guide youH5148; when youH853 lie downH7901, they will watchH8104 over youH5921; when you awakeH6974, theyH1931 will speak to youH7878.23ForH3588 this commandmentH4687 is a lampH5216, this teachingH8451 is a lightH216, and the reproofsH8433 of disciplineH4148 are the wayH1870 to lifeH2416,24to keep youH8104 from the evilH7451 womanH802, from the smoothH2513 tongueH3956 of the adulteressH5237.1
25Do notH408 lustH2530 in your heartH3824H408 for her beautyH3308or let her captivate youH3947 with her eyesH6079.226ForH3588 the levyH1157 of the prostituteH802H2181 is povertyH3603H3899H5704,3and the adulteressH802H376 preys uponH6679 your veryH3368 lifeH5315.27Can a manH376 embraceH2846H2436 fireH784and his clothesH899 notH3808 be burnedH8313?28CanH518 a manH376 walkH1980 onH5921 hot coalsH1513withoutH3808 scorchingH3554 his feetH7272?29SoH3651 is he who sleeps withH935H413 another man’sH7453 wifeH802;no oneH3808H3605 who touchesH5060 her will go unpunishedH5352.
30Men do notH3808 despiseH936 the thiefH1590ifH3588 he stealsH1589 to satisfyH4390 hisH5315 hungerH3588H7456.31Yet if caughtH4672, he must payH7999 sevenfoldH7659;he must give upH5414 allH3605 the wealthH1952 of his houseH1004.32He who commits adulteryH5003H802 lacksH2638 judgmentH3820;whoeverH1931 does soH6213 destroysH7843 himselfH5315.33WoundsH5061 and dishonorH7036 will befall himH4672,and his reproachH2781 will neverH3808 be wiped awayH4229.34ForH3588 jealousyH7068 enrages a husbandH2534H1397,and he will show noH3808 mercyH2550 in the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359.35He will notH3808 be appeasedH5375H6440 by anyH3605 ransomH3724,or persuadedH14H3588 by lavishH7235 giftsH7810.
