Proverbs 6:27-35 - Warning Against Relations With A Married Woman

²⁷ Can a man embrace fire
and his clothes not be burned?
²⁸ Can a man walk on burning coals
without scorching his feet?
²⁹ So it is with the one who sleeps with
another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
³⁰ People don’t despise the thief if he steals
to satisfy himself when he is hungry.
³¹ Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much;
he must give up all the wealth in his house.
³² The one who commits adultery lacks sense;
whoever does so destroys himself.
³³ He will get a beating and dishonor,
and his disgrace will never be removed.
³⁴ For jealousy enrages a husband,
and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
³⁵ He will not be appeased by anything
or be persuaded by lavish gifts.
