Proverbs 6:21-32

²¹Bind thou those continually in thine heart; and encompass to thy throat.

²²When thou goest, go they with thee; when thou sleepest, keep they thee; and thou waking, speak with them.

²³For the commandment of God is a lantern, and the law is light, and the blaming of teaching is the way of life;

²⁴that they keep thee from an evil woman, and from a flattering tongue of a strange woman.

²⁵Thine heart covet not the fairness of her; neither be thou taken by the beckonings of her.

²⁶For the price of a whore is scarcely a gobbet of bread; but such a woman taketh the precious soul of a man.

²⁷Whether a man may hide fire in his bosom, that his clothes burn not;

²⁸either go on coals, and his feet be not burnt?

²⁹So he that entereth to the wife of his neighbour; shall not be clean, when he hath touched her.

³⁰It is no great sin, when a man stealeth; for he stealeth to fill an hungry soul.

³¹And he taken shall yield the seventhfold; and he shall give all the chattel or substance of his house, and shall deliver himself.

³²But he that is an adulterer, shall lose his soul, for the poverty of heart, that is, wanting of reason.
