Proverbs 6:29-35

29So it is with the one who has sex with his neighbor’s wife; no one who touches her will escape punishment.

30People do not despise a thief when he steals to fulfill his need when he is hungry.

31Yet if he is caught he must repay seven times over, he might even have to give all the wealth of his house.

32A man who commits adultery with a woman lacks wisdom, whoever does it destroys his own life.

33He will be beaten and despised, and his reproach will not be wiped away;

34for jealousy kindles a husband’s rage, and he will not show mercy when he takes revenge.

35He will not consider any compensation; he will not be willing, even if you multiply the compensation.
