Proverbs 6:24-33

24To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress.

25Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.

26For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.

27Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?

28Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?

29So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.

30People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.

31Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house.

32Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul.

33Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away.
