Verse
Proverbs - ch 6 v 21 - 35
- Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.
- When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.
- Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
- That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger.
- Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:
- For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.
- Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?
- Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?
- So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her.
- The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul:
- And if he be taken he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house.
- But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul:
- He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out:
- Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge,
- Nor will he yield to any man's prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts.
