20:006:024 To keep thee from the evil woman, from
the flattery of the
tongue
of a strange woman.
20:006:025 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart;
neither let her take
thee
with her eyelids.
20:006:026 For by means of a whorish woman a man is
brought to a piece of
bread:
and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
20:006:027 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his
clothes not be
burned?
20:006:028 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
20:006:029 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s
wife; whosoever
toucheth
her shall not be innocent.
20:006:030 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal
to satisfy his soul
when
he is hungry;
20:006:031 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold;
he shall give
all
the substance of his house.
20:006:032 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman
lacketh
understanding:
he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
20:006:033 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and
his reproach shall not
be
wiped away.
20:006:034 For jealousy is the rage of a man:
therefore he will not spare
in
the day of vengeance.
20:006:035 He will not regard any ransom; neither
will he rest content,
though
thou givest many gifts.
20:007:001 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
20:007:002 Keep my commandments, and live; and my
law as the apple of
thine
eye.
20:007:003 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them
upon the table of thine
heart.
20:007:004 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and
call understanding
thy
kinswoman:
20:007:005 That they may keep thee from the strange
woman, from the
stranger
which flattereth with her words.
20:007:006 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
20:007:007 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned
among the
youths,
a young man void of understanding,
20:007:008 Passing through the street near her corner;
and he went the
way
to her house,
20:007:009 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
20:007:010 And, behold, there met him a woman with
the attire of an
harlot,
and subtil of heart.
20:007:011 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
20:007:012 Now is she without, now in the streets,
and lieth in wait at
every
corner.)
20:007:013 So she caught him, and kissed him, and
with an impudent face
said
unto him,
20:007:014 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
20:007:015 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently
to seek thy
face,
and I have found thee.
