Proverbs 6:25-35

25 Don't lustfully fantasize on her beauty, nor be taken in by her bedroom eyes.

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

26 You can buy an hour with a whore for a loaf of bread, but a wanton woman may well eat you alive.

26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life.

27 Can you build a fire in your lap and not burn your pants?

27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?

28 Can you walk barefoot on hot coals and not get blisters?

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

29 It's the same when you have sex with your neighbor's wife: Touch her and you'll pay for it. No excuses.

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

30 Hunger is no excuse for a thief to steal;

30 People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.

31 When he's caught he has to pay it back, even if he has to put his whole house in hock.

31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.

32 Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive;

32 But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.

33 Expect a bloody nose, a black eye, and a reputation ruined for good.

33 Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.

34 For jealousy detonates rage in a cheated husband; wild for revenge, he won't make allowances.

34 For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.

35 Nothing you say or pay will make it all right; neither bribes nor reason will satisfy him.

35 He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.
