Proverbs 6:23-27 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

23. For like a lamp is a commandment, and instruction is light, and the way of life is the reproof of discipline,

24. in order to preserve you from an evil woman, from the smoothness of the tongue of an adulteress.

25. Do not desire her beauty in your heart; may she not capture you with her eyelashes.

26. For the price of a woman, a prostitute, is the price of a loaf of bread, but the woman belonging to a man hunts precious life.

27. Can a man carry fire in his lap, and his clothes not burn?
