16. Two types of people multiply sins,and a third draws down wrath:Burning passion is like a blazing fire,not to be quenched till it burns itself out;One unchaste with his kindrednever stops until fire breaks forth.
17. To the unchaste all bread is sweet;he is never through till he dies.
18. The man who dishonors his marriage bedsays to himself, “Who can see me?Darkness surrounds me, walls hide me,no one sees me. Who can stop me from sinning?”He is not mindful of the Most High,
19. fearing only human eyes.He does not realize that the eyes of the Lord,ten thousand times brighter than the sun,Observe every step takenand peer into hidden corners.
20. The one who knows all things before they existstill knows them all after they are made.
21. Such a man will be denounced in the streets of the city;and where he least suspects it, he will be apprehended.
22. So it is with the woman unfaithful to her husband,who offers him an heir by another man.
23. First of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High;second, she has wronged her husband;Third, through her wanton adulteryshe has brought forth children by another man.
24. Such a woman will be dragged before the assembly,and her punishment will extend to her children.
