Proverbs 6:24-29

KJV

NIV

24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?
29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
