Proverbs 6:29-34 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

29. It's the same for anyone who has sex with another man's wife. Anyone who touches her will be punished.

30. People don't hate a thief who steals to fill his empty stomach.

31. But when he is caught, he must pay seven times as much as he stole. It may even cost him everything he has.

32. A man who commits adultery has no sense. Anyone who does it destroys himself.

33. He will be beaten up and dishonored. His shame will never be wiped away.

34. Jealousy stirs up a husband's anger. He will show no mercy when he gets even.
