Proverbs 6:20-35

20My sonH1121, observeH5341 thy father's commandmentH4687, and forsake not the teaching of thy motherH517; 21bindH7194 them continuallyH8548 upon thy heartH3820, tieH7194 them about thy neckH1621: 22when thou walkest, it shall leadH5148 thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keepH8104 thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23For the commandmentH4687 is a lampH5216, and the teaching a lightH216, and reproofs of instruction are the wayH1870 of lifeH2416: 24to keepH8104 thee from the evilH7451 womanH802, from the flattery of the tongueH3956 of a strange womanH802. 25Lust not after her beautyH3308 in thy heartH3824, neither let her takeH3947 thee with her eyelidsH6079; 26for by means of a whorish womanH802 [a manH376 is brought] to a loafH3603 of breadH3899, and another's wifeH802 doth huntH6679 for the preciousH3368 soulH5315. 27Can a manH376 take fireH784 in his bosomH2436, and his garmentsH899 not be burnedH8313? 28Can oneH376 goH1980 upon hot coalsH1513, and his feetH7272 not be scorched? 29So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wifeH802: whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 30They do not despiseH936 a thiefH1590, if he stealH1589 to satisfy his soulH5315 when he is hungryH7456: 31and if he be foundH4672, he shall restore sevenfoldH7659; he shall giveH5414 all the substance of his houseH1004. 32Whoso committeth adulteryH5003 with a womanH802 is void of understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his ownH5315 soulH5315. 33A wound and contempt shall he get; and his reproachH2781 shall not be wiped away. 34For jealousyH7068 is the rageH2534 of a manH1397, and he will not spareH2550 in the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359; 35he will not regard any ransomH3724, neither will he rest content though thou multipliest [thy] giftsH7810.
