Warnings Against Adultery

20 ¹My son, keep your father's commandment, ²and forsake not your mother's teaching.

21 ³Bind them on your heart always; ⁴tie them around your neck.

22 ⁵When you walk, they^a will lead you; ⁶when you lie down, they will ⁷watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.

23 For the commandment is ⁸a lamp and the teaching a light, and the ⁹reproofs of discipline are the way of life,

24 to preserve you from the evil woman,^b from the smooth tongue of ¹⁰the adulteress.^c

25 ¹¹Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her ¹²eyelashes;

26 for ¹³the price of a prostitute is only ¹⁴a loaf of bread,^d but a married woman^e¹⁵hunts down a precious life.

27 Can a man carry ¹⁶fire next to his ¹⁷chest and his clothes not be burned?

28 Or can one ¹⁸walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?

29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her ¹⁹will go unpunished.

30 People do not despise a thief if he steals to ²⁰satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,

31 but ²¹if he is caught, he will pay ²²sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.

32 He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.

33 He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.

34 For ²³jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when ²⁴he takes revenge.

35 He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
