New Testament

Proverbs 6:26-34 God's Word Translation (GW)

26. A prostitute’s price is ⌊only⌋ a loaf of bread,but a married woman hunts for ⌊your⌋ life itself.

27. Can a man carry fire in his lapwithout burning his clothes?

28. Can anyone walk on red-hot coalswithout burning his feet?

29. So it is with a man who has sex with his neighbor’s wife.None who touch her will escape punishment.

30. People do not despise a thief who is hungrywhen he steals to satisfy his appetite,

31. but when he is caught,he has to repay it seven times.He must give up all the possessions in his house.

32. Whoever commits adultery with a woman has no sense.Whoever does this destroys himself.

33. An adulterous man will find disease and dishonor,and his disgrace will not be blotted out,

34. because jealousy arouses a husband’s fury.The husband will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
