Proverbs 6:24-35
Proverbs 6:24-35 NASB2020
To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the foreign woman. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids. For the price of a prostitute reduces one to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for a precious life. Can anyone take fire in his lap And his clothes not be burned? Or can a person walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched? So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished. People do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry; But when he is found, he must repay seven times as much; He must give up all the property of his house. One who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself commits it. He will find wounds and disgrace, And his shame will not be removed. For jealousy enrages a man, And he will not have compassion on the day of vengeance. He will not accept any settlement, Nor will he be satisfied though you make ita large gift.
