Proverbs 6:23-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ Their commands and their teaching are like a lamp that gives you light. When they warn you that you are doing wrong things, that helps you to live well.

²⁴ They will keep you safe from any bad woman, so that the sweet words of an adulteress will not deceive you. ²⁵ Do not keep thinking how beautiful her body is. Do not let her use her eyes like a trap to catch you.

²⁶ If you sleep with a prostitute, that may cost the price of a meal. But if you sleep with another man's wife, you may pay with your life.

²⁷ You cannot carry fire next to your body and not burn your clothes. ²⁸ You cannot walk over hot pieces of coal and not burn your feet. ²⁹ It is the same when a man has sex with another man's wife. Anyone who does that will receive punishment that hurts him.
