Proverbs 6:20-29

²⁰My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

²¹Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.

²²When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

²³For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

²⁴To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

²⁶For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

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

²⁸Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?

²⁹So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
