14. You might forget yourself while in the company of important people and make a fool of yourself with some foul word that comes to you naturally. Think how your parents would feel! You would curse the day you were born and wish you were dead!
15. If you fall into the habit of using offensive language, you will never break yourself of it as long as you live.
16. There are any number of ways to sin and bring down the Lord's anger, but sexual passion is a hot blazing fire that cannot be put out at will; it can only burn itself out. A man who lives for nothing but sexual enjoyment will keep on until that fire destroys him.
17. To such a man all women are desirable, and he can never get enough as long as he lives.
18. The man who is unfaithful to his wife thinks to himself, “No one will ever know. It's dark in here, and no one sees me. I have nothing to worry about. As for the Most High, he won't even notice.”
19. This man is only afraid of other people. He doesn't realize that the eyes of the Lord are 10,000 times brighter than the sun, that he sees everything we do, even when we try to hide it.
20. He knew everything before he created the world, as well as after.
21. That sinful man will be caught when he least expects it, and punished publicly.
22. The same is true of a woman who is unfaithful to her husband and presents him with a child by another man.
23. In the first place, she has broken the Law of the Most High. In the second place, she has wronged her husband. And in the third place, she has made a whore of herself by committing adultery and bearing the child of a man not her husband.
24-25. The children will suffer for her sin. They will not be able to find a place in society or establish families. She herself will be brought before the assembly
26. and permanently disgraced. There will be a curse on her memory. After she is gone,
27. everyone will realize that nothing is better than fearing the Lord, nothing is sweeter than keeping his commands.
