24 That they may kepe thee from the euyll woman, and from the flattering tongue of the straunge woman.

25 Lust not after her beautie in thyne heart, lest thou be taken with her fayre lokes.

26 By an harlot a man is brought to beg his bread, and a woman wyll hunte for the pretious life of man.

27 May a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent?

28 Or can one go vpon hotte coales, and his feete not be brent?

29 Euen so, whosoeuer goeth in to his neyghbours wife and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie.
