Context of Proverbs 6:33
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. An 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.
