Proverbs 6:28-35 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

28. If a man walks upon the hot coals, will his feet not be burned?

29. Thus, he who goes to the wife of his neighbor, any who touches her shall not go unpunished.

30. People do not despise a thief when he steals to fill himself when he is hungry.

31. But if he is found, he will pay sevenfold, every possession of his house he shall give.

32. He who commits adultery with a woman lacks sense, he destroys himself who does it.

33. A wound and dishonor he will find, and his disgrace will not be wiped out.

34. For jealousy is the fury of a husband, and he will not show restraint on the day of revenge.

35. He will not accept any compensation, and he will not be willing, though the bribe is large.
