24. To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.
25. Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26. For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
28. Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
29. So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
30. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry:
31. But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; He shall give all the substance of his house.
