Proverbs 6:24-35
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.3012Men do not despise a thief if he steals To 13satisfy 14himself when he is hungry;31But when he is found, he must 15repay sevenfold; He must give all the 16substance of his house.32The one who commits adultery with a woman is 17lacking 18sense; He who would 19destroy 20himself does it.33Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach will not be blotted out.34For 21jealousy 22enrages a man, And he will not spare in the 23day of vengeance.35He will not 24accept any ransom, Nor will he be 25satisfied though you give many 26gifts.
