Proverbs 6:29-35

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,

34because jealousy arouses a husband’s fury. The husband will show no mercy when he takes revenge.

35No amount of money will change his mind. The largest bribe will not satisfy him.
