Context of Proverbs 6:33
31But if someone catches him, he must pay back seven times what he took. He may lose everything that he has in his house. 32But a man who sleeps with another man's wife is stupid. He is destroying his own life. He deserves his punishment and shame. He will never stop being ashamed. 34The woman's husband will be jealous, and he will become very angry. He will want the man to receive full punishment. 35He will not accept any money or bribe to pay the debt, even if it is a lot of money.
