Proverbs 6:22-35

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.

³⁰Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry:

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

³²He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.

³³Wounds and dishonor 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.
