Proverbs 6:21-35

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

²²When thou walkest, it shall lead thee, when thou liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

²³For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life;

²⁴To keep thee from the evil woman, from the smoothness of the alien tongue.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; neither let her captivate thee with her eyelids.

²⁶For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a loaf of bread, but 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 neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not go unpunished.

³⁰Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

³¹But if he be found, he must restore sevenfold, he must give all the substance of his house.

³²He that committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding; he doeth it that would destroy his own soul.

³³Wounds and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

³⁴For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

³⁵He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
