Proverbs 6:24-33

24to keep you from an evil woman and from the smooth talk of a loose woman.

25Do not desire her beauty in your heart. Do not let her catch you with her eyes.

26A prostitute’s price is ⌞only⌟ a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts for ⌞your⌟ life itself.

27Can a man carry fire in his lap without burning his clothes?

28Can anyone walk on red-hot coals without burning his feet?

29So it is with a man who has sex with his neighbor’s wife. None who touch her will escape punishment.

30People do not despise a thief who is hungry when he steals to satisfy his appetite,

31but when he is caught, he has to repay it seven times. He must give up all the possessions in his house.

32Whoever commits adultery with a woman has no sense. Whoever does this destroys himself.

33An adulterous man will find disease  and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be blotted out,
