25. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.
26. For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?
28. Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?
29. So is the one who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished.
30. Men do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry;
31. But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; He must give all the substance of his house.
32. The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself does it.
33. Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach will not be blotted out.
