25. Do not desire her prettiness in your heart, Neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
26. For because of a whore One is brought to a crust of bread. And an adulteress hunts a precious life.
27. Would a man take fire to his bosom, And his garments not be burned?
28. Would a man walk on hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
29. So is he who goes in to his neighbour’s wife; None who touches her goes unpunished.
30. They do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is starving.
31. Yet if he is caught he repays sevenfold; He gives all the wealth of his house.
32. He who commits adultery with a woman lacks heart; He who does it destroys his own life.
33. He finds smiting and shame, And his reproach is not wiped away.
34. For jealousy enrages a man, And he does not spare in the day of vengeance.
