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.
