Context of Proverbs 6:33
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. He 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.
