	LAMSA Lamsa Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
30	No one wonders at a thief when he is caught stealing, for he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;	People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,	People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31	But if he is caught, he shall pay sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house.	but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.	Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
32	But he who commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding, and he destroys his own soul.	He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.	But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.
33	And he who does it brings dishonor upon himself; and his reproach shall not be wiped out.	He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.	Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.
34	For jealousy provokes a man's rage; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.	For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.	For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35	He will not regard any ransom; nor will he listen, though you increase the bribe.	He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.	He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.
