24 To keep thee from the evil woman, From the smoothness of the alien tongue. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her captivate thee with her eyelids. 26 For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a loaf of bread, But 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 neighbour's wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not go unpunished. Proverbs 6:24-29, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
