Proverbs 6:24-29

New Revised Standard NRS

24 to preserve you from the wife of another, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;

26 for a prostitute's fee is only a loaf of bread, but the wife of another stalks a man's very life.

27 Can fire be carried in the bosom without burning one's clothes?

28 Or can one walk on hot coals without scorching the feet?

29 So is he who sleeps with his neighbor's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

New International Version NIV

24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.

25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.

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 scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?

28 Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?

29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
