Proverbs 6:26-33

Proverbs 6:26-33 CSB

For a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread,  but the wife of another man  goes after a precious life.  Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned? Can a man walk on burning coals without scorching his feet? So it is with the one who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.  People don’t despise the thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry.  Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much;  he must give up all the wealth in his house. The one who commits adultery  lacks sense; whoever does so destroys himself.  He will get a beating  and dishonor, and his disgrace will never be removed.
