25 Lust not after her beautie in thyne heart, lest thou be taken with her fayre lokes. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes; Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 By an harlot a man is brought to beg his bread, and a woman wyll hunte for the pretious life of man. for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life. For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
27 May a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?
28 Or can one go vpon hotte coales, and his feete not be brent? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?
29 Euen so, whosoeuer goeth in to his neyghbours wife and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie. So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished. So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
