24 Keeping you from another’s wife, from the smooth tongue of the foreign woman. 25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty, do not let her captivate you with her glance! 26 For the price of a harlot may be scarcely a loaf of bread, But a married woman is a trap for your precious life. 27 Can a man take embers into his bosom, and his garments not be burned? 28 Or can a man walk on live coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So with him who sleeps with another’s wife— none who touches her shall go unpunished.
