30 People do not despise a thief when he steals to fulfill his need when he is hungry.

31 Yet if he is caught he must repay seven times over, he might even have to give all the wealth of his house.

32 A man who commits adultery with a woman lacks wisdom, whoever does it destroys his own life.

33 He will be beaten and despised, and his reproach will not be wiped away;

34 for jealousy kindles a husband's rage, and he will not show mercy when he takes revenge.

35 He will not consider any compensation; he will not be willing, even if you multiply the compensation.
