Proverbs 6:24-32 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue.

25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

26. For on account of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

28. Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?

29. So he that goeth in to his nieghbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.

30. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry:

31. But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

32. He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he doeth it that would destroy his own soul.
