Proverbs 6:25-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty,do not let her captivate you with her glance!

26. For the price of a harlotmay be scarcely a loaf of bread,But a married womanis a trap for your precious life.

27. Can a man take embers into his bosom,and his garments not be burned?

28. Or can a man walk on live coals,and his feet not be scorched?

29. So with him who sleeps with another’s wife—none who touches her shall go unpunished.
