27. Can a man carry fire next to his chestand his clothes not be burned?
28. Or can one walk on hot coalsand his feet not be scorched?
29. So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;none who touches her will go unpunished.
30. People do not despise a thief if he stealsto satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
31. but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold;he will give all the goods of his house.
32. He who commits adultery lacks sense;he who does it destroys himself.
33. He will get wounds and dishonor,and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
34. For jealousy makes a man furious,and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
35. He will accept no compensation;he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
