Proverbs 6:28
Verse 28 of 35. The 6th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.
24to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.
25Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
26For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
27Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?
28Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
29So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
30Men don’t despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry,
31but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.
32He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.
