American Standard Version

Proverbs 6:23-27 American Standard Version (ASV)

23. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24. To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.

25. Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

26. For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
