English Standard Version

Proverbs 6:30-35 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.
