Proverbs 6:24-29

NCV

NIV

24 They will keep you from sinful women and from the pleasing words of another man's unfaithful wife.
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
25 Don't desire her because she is beautiful. Don't let her capture you by the way she looks at you.
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 A prostitute will treat you like a loaf of bread, and a woman who takes part in adultery may cost you your life.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
27 You cannot carry hot coals against your chest without burning your clothes,
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?
28 and you cannot walk on hot coals without burning your feet.
28 Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?
29 The same is true if you have sexual relations with another man's wife. Anyone who does so will be punished.
29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
