Proverbs 6:24-33

24To keepH8104 thee from the evilH7451 womanH802, from the flatteryH2513 of the tongueH3956 of a strange womanH5237.1

25LustH2530 not after her beautyH3308 in thine heartH3824; neither let her takeH3947 thee with her eyelidsH6079.

26For by means ofH1157 a whorishH2181 womanH802 a man is brought to a pieceH3603 of breadH3899: and the adulteressH376H802 will huntH6679 for the preciousH3368 lifeH5315.2

27Can a manH376 takeH2846 fireH784 in his bosomH2436, and his clothesH899 not be burnedH8313?

28Can oneH376 goH1980 upon hot coalsH1513, and his feetH7272 not be burnedH3554?

29So he that goeth inH935 to his neighbour’sH7453 wifeH802; whosoever touchethH5060 her shall not be innocentH5352.

30Men do not despiseH936 a thiefH1590, if he stealH1589 to satisfyH4390 his soulH5315 when he is hungryH7456;

31But if he be foundH4672, he shall restoreH7999 sevenfoldH7659; he shall giveH5414 all the substanceH1952 of his houseH1004.

32But whoso committeth adulteryH5003 with a womanH802 lackethH2638 understandingH3820: he that doethH6213 it destroyethH7843 his own soulH5315.3

33A woundH5061 and dishonourH7036 shall he getH4672; and his reproachH2781 shall not be wiped awayH4229.
