24 to keep you from an evil woman and from the smooth talk of a loose woman. 25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart. Do not let her catch you with her eyes. 26 A prostitute's price is [only] a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts for [your] life itself. 27 Can a man carry fire in his lap without burning his clothes? 28 Can anyone walk on red-hot coals without burning his feet? 29 So it is with a man who has sex with his neighbor's wife. None who touch her will escape punishment. Proverbs 6:24-29, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
