Proverbs 6:24-34

²⁴Heeding PRS these commands and things that we have taught you will enable you to keep away from immoral women and from listening to the enticing words of an adulterous woman.

²⁵Even if such a woman is beautiful and has lovely eyes, do not desire to go with her. Do not let her persuade you to go with her ◄with her eyes/by the way she looks at you►.

²⁶Do not forget that you can hire a prostitute for only a loaf of bread, but if you sleep with another man's wife, ◄it may cost you/you may lose► your life.

²⁷Can you carry hot coals in your pocket and not be burned RHQ?

²⁸Can you walk on burning coals and not scorch/burn your feet?

²⁹No! And in the same way, anyone who ◄sleeps with/has sex with► another man's wife will suffer for doing that. He will certainly LIT be punished severely.

³⁰We do not despise a thief if he steals some food because he is very hungry.

³¹But if he steals something and then is caught by the police, he will have to pay back ◄seven times as much as/much more than► he stole. He may need to sell everything that is in his house to get enough money to pay it back.

³²But a man who commits adultery with some woman is very foolish, because he is destroying his own self/soul by what he is doing.

³³That woman's husband will wound him badly, and other people will despise him. His shame will never end.

³⁴Because that woman's husband will ◄be jealous/not want anyone else to sleep with her►, he will become furious, and when he gets revenge, he will not act mercifully toward the man who slept with his wife.
