Proverbs:6:20-35
rsv@Proverbs:6:20 @ My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.
rsv@Proverbs:6:21 @ Bind them upon your heart always; tie them about your neck.
rsv@Proverbs:6:22 @ When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
rsv@Proverbs:6:23 @ For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
rsv@Proverbs:6:24 @ to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adventuress.
rsv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
rsv@Proverbs:6:26 @ for a harlot may be hired for a loaf of bread, but an adulteress stalks a man's very life.
rsv@Proverbs:6:27 @ Can a man carry fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
rsv@Proverbs:6:28 @ Or can one walk upon hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
rsv@Proverbs:6:29 @ So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
rsv@Proverbs:6:30 @ Do not men despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry?
rsv@Proverbs:6:31 @ And if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
rsv@Proverbs:6:32 @ He who commits adultery has no sense; he who does it destroys himself.
rsv@Proverbs:6:33 @ Wounds and dishonor will he get, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
rsv@Proverbs:6:34 @ For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
rsv@Proverbs:6:35 @ He will accept no compensation, nor be appeased though you multiply gifts.
