26. For the price of a harlotmay be scarcely a loaf of bread,But a married womanis a trap for your precious life.
27. Can a man take embers into his bosom,and his garments not be burned?
28. Or can a man walk on live coals,and his feet not be scorched?
29. So with him who sleeps with another’s wife—none who touches her shall go unpunished.
30. Thieves are not despisedif out of hunger they steal to satisfy their appetite.
