Proverbs 6:24-29

²⁴to keep you from the evil woman,

from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

²⁵Do not lust in your heart for her beauty

or let her captivate you with her eyes.

²⁶For the levy of the prostitute is poverty,

and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

²⁷Can a man embrace fire

and his clothes not be burned?

²⁸Can a man walk on hot coals

without scorching his feet?

²⁹So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;

no one who touches her will go unpunished.
