23 For their command is a lampand their instruction a light;their corrective disciplineis the way to life.
24 It will keep you from the immoral woman,from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.
25 Don’t lust for her beauty.Don’t let her coy glances seduce you.
26 For a prostitute will bring you to poverty,but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life.
27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lapand not have his clothes catch on fire?
28 Can he walk on hot coalsand not blister his feet?
29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife.He who embraces her will not go unpunished.
