Warnings Against Adultery

20lMy son, keep your father's commandment,

land forsake not your mother's teaching.

21mBind them on your heart always;

ntie them around your neck.

22oWhen you walk, they4 will lead you;

owhen you lie down, they will pwatch over you;

and when you awake, they will talk with you.

23For the commandment is qa lamp and the teaching a light,

and the rreproofs of discipline are the way of life,

24to preserve you from the evil woman,5

from the smooth tongue of sthe adulteress.6

25tDo not desire her beauty in your heart,

and do not let her capture you with her ueyelashes;

26for vthe price of a prostitute is only wa loaf of bread,7

but a married woman8 xhunts down a precious life.

27Can a man carry yfire next to his zchest

and his clothes not be burned?

28Or can one awalk on hot coals

and his feet not be scorched?

29So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;

none who touches her bwill go unpunished.
