Proverbs 6 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

24 that they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the fair spoken tongue of the stranger.

25 Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her becks:

26 for the price of an harlot is scarce worth one loaf: but a woman catcheth the precious soul of man.

27 Can a man hide fire in his bosom, that his garments burn not?

28 Or walk upon hot coals, that his soles be not burnt?

29 so he that goeth in unto his neighbour's wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her.

32 But he that is an adulterer, for penury of heart shall destroy his own soul:

33 shame and ignominy he gathereth to himself, & his reproach shall not be blotted out.
