Proverbs 6:28-35 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

28. Can you walk on hot coals without burning your feet?

29. It is just as dangerous to sleep with another man's wife. Whoever does it will suffer.

30. People don't despise a thief if he steals food when he is hungry;

31. yet if he is caught, he must pay back seven times more — he must give up everything he has.

32. But a man who commits adultery hasn't any sense. He is just destroying himself.

33. He will be dishonoured and beaten up; he will be permanently disgraced.

34. A husband is never angrier than when he is jealous; his revenge knows no limits.

35. He will not accept any payment; no amount of gifts will satisfy his anger.
