Proverbs 6:27-35 ▼

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.

30 Men do not vtterly despise a thiefe that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hungrie:

31 But if he may be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as muche, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house.

32 But whoso committeth adultrie with a woman, lacketh vnderstanding: and he that doth it, destroyeth his owne soule.

33 He getteth him selfe a plague and dishonour, and his reproche shall neuer be put out:

34 For the ielousie and wrath of the man wyll not be entreated,

35 No though thou wouldest offer hym great gyftes to make amendes, he wyll not receaue them.
