23. The commandment is a lamp and instruction a light;corrective teaching is the path of life.
24. They guard you from the evil woman,from the flattering tongue of the foreign woman.
25. Don’t desire her beauty in secret;don’t let her take you in with her eyelashes,
26. for a prostitute costs a loaf of bread,but a married woman hunts for a man’s very life.
27. Can a man scoop fire into his lapand his clothes not get burned?
28. If a man walks on hot coals,don’t his feet get burned?
29. So is the man who approaches his neighbor’s wife;anyone who touches her will be punished.
30. People don’t despise a thief if he stealsto fill his starving stomach.
31. But if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold;he must give all the riches of his house.
32. He who commits adultery is senseless.Doing so, he destroys himself.
