26 A man can hire a prostitute for the price of a loaf of bread, but adultery will cost him all he has.
27 Can you carry fire against your chest without burning your clothes?
28 Can you walk on hot coals without burning your feet?
29 It is just as dangerous to sleep with another man's wife. Whoever does it will suffer.
30 People don't despise a thief if he steals food when he is hungry;
31 yet if he is caught, he must pay back seven times more — he must give up everything he has.
32 But a man who commits adultery hasn't any sense. He is just destroying himself.
