New Testament

Proverbs 6:26-35 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

26. A prostitute may leave you with only a loaf of bread.And a woman who takes part in adultery may cost you your life.

27. You cannot carry hot coals against your chestwithout burning your clothes.

28. And you cannot walk on hot coalswithout burning your feet.

29. The same thing happens if you commit adultery with another man’s wife.Anyone who does so will be punished.

30. People do not hate a thiefwhen he steals because he is hungry.

31. But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole.It may cost him everything he owns.

32. A man who takes part in adultery doesn’t have any sense.He will destroy himself.

33. He will be beaten up and disgraced.And his shame will never go away.

34. Jealousy makes a husband very angry.He will have no mercy when he gets even.

35. He will accept no payment for the wrong.He will take no money, no matter how much it is.
