Proverbs 6:24-29
24To 1keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the 2adulteress.253Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her 4eyelids.26For 5on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And 6an adulteress 7hunts for the precious life.27Can a man 8take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?28Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?29So is the one who 9goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her 10will not 11go unpunished.
