4. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of
instruction are the way of life,
24 To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a
seductress.
25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her
eyelids.
26 For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an
adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
27 Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her shall not
be innocent.
32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who
does so destroys his own soul.
33 Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped
away.
