Proverbs
Proverbs 6:27–29 compares adultery to carrying fire or walking on hot coals and not being burned. Proverbs 6:32–33 says the adulterer lacks sense and gains wounds and dishonor. Proverbs 6:34–35 adds that jealousy brings fury and that compensation will not satisfy.
27Can a man scoop fire into his lap, And his clothes not be burned?
28Or can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
29So is he who goes in to his neighbor`s wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
30Men don`t despise a thief, If he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:
31But if he be found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.
32He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.
33He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away.
34For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won`t spare in the day of vengeance.
35He won`t regard any ransom, Neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
