Proverbs 6:20-29

²⁰Keep, O my son, the commandment of thy father, and reject not the teaching of thy mother:

²¹Bind them upon thy heart continually, tie them about thy throat.

²²When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou art awake, it shall converse with thee.

²³For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light; and the way of life are the admonitions of correction:

²⁴To guard thee against a bad woman, from the flattery of an alien tongue.

²⁵Covet not her beauty in thy heart, and let her not conquer thee with her eyelids.

²⁶For by means of a harlot one is brought down to the last loaf of bread: and an adulterous woman will even hunt for the precious life,

²⁷Can a man gather up fire in his lap, and shall his clothes not be burnt?

²⁸Can a man walk along upon hot coals, and shall his feet not be burnt?

²⁹So it is with him that goeth in to his neighbor's wife: no one that toucheth her shall remain unpunished.
