| 26 | A prostitute's price is [only] a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts for [your] life itself. | 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 | Can a man carry fire in his lap without burning his clothes? | 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 | Can anyone walk on red-hot coals without burning his feet? | 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 | So it is with a man who has sex with his neighbor's wife. None who touch her will escape punishment. | 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. | |
