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 must restore sevenfold, He must give all the substance of his house.

32 He that committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding; He doeth it that would destroy his own soul.

33 Wounds and dishonour shall he get, And his reproach shall not be wiped away.

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man, And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35 He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
