17. haughty eyes, a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood,

21. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
22. When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you;and when you awake, they will talk with you.
23. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
24. to preserve you from the evil woman,from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25. Do not desire her beauty in your heart,and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
26. for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
27. Can a man carry fire next to his chestand his clothes not be burned?
