Proverbs of Solomon 6
A Young Man Is Warned Against an Adulterous Woman
20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's law.
21 Bind them continually upon your heart, and hang them about your neck.
22 When you walk, it will guide you; when you lie down, it will guard you; when you awake, it will speak to you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
24 To keep you from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of a strange woman.
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty, nor be captivated by her eyes.
26 For because of a prostitute, men come near to ask a morsel of bread; and an adulteress preys on the precious life.
27 Can a man take fire into his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Or can a man walk on hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 So it is with anyone who goes in to his neighbor's wife: no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 A thief is not reviled when he steals to satisfy his hunger;
31 But when he finds it, he will repay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his household.
32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does it destroys his own soul.
33 He will find punishment and dishonor, and his reproach will never be wiped away.
34 For a husband's jealousy is furious, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will accept no ransom, nor will he consent, even if you give many gifts.
