23 The Law of the Lord is a lamp,and its teachingsshine brightly.Correction and self-controlwill lead you through life.
24 They will protect youfrom the flattering wordsof someone else's wife.
25 Don't let yourself be attractedby the charm and lovely eyesof someone like that.
26 A woman who sells her lovecan be bought for as littleas the price of a meal.But making loveto another man's wifewill cost you everything.
27 If you carry burning coals,you burn your clothes;
28 if you step on hot coals,you burn your feet.
