Proverbs:6:20-35

* My son , observe thy father 's commandment , and forsake not the teaching of thy mother ; * bind them continually upon thy heart , tie them about thy neck : * when thou walkest , it shall lead thee ; when thou sleepest , it shall keep thee ; and [when ] thou awakest , it shall talk with thee . * For the commandment is a lamp , and the teaching a light , and reproofs of instruction are the way of life : * to keep thee from the evil woman , from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman . * Lust not after her beauty in thy heart , neither let her take thee with her eyelids ; * for by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought ] to a loaf of bread , and another 's wife doth hunt for the precious soul . * Can a man take fire in his bosom , and his garments not be burned ? * Can one go upon hot coals , and his feet not be scorched ? * So he that goeth in to his neighbour 's wife : whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent . * They do not despise a thief , if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry : * and if he be found , he shall restore sevenfold ; he shall give all the substance of his house . * Whoso committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding : he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul . * A wound and contempt shall he get ; and his reproach shall not be wiped away . * For jealousy is the rage of a man , and he will not spare in the day of vengeance ; * he will not regard any ransom , neither will he rest content though thou multipliest [thy ] gifts .
