Proverbs 6:24–29

24 They will protect you from an evil woman,A

from the flattering tongue of a wayward woman.ah

25 Don’t lust in your heart for her beautya

or let her captivate you with her eyelashes.b

26 For a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread,B

but the wife of another manC goes after a precious life.c

27 Can a man embrace fire

and his clothes not be burned?

28 Can a man walk on burning coals

without scorching his feet?

29 So it is with the one who sleeps with

another man’s wife;

no one who touches her will go unpunished.d
