| 24 | by keeping you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the loose woman. | to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress. | keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman. | |
| 25 | Do not lust in your heart for her beauty, and do not let her captivate you with her alluring eyes; | 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 | for on account of a prostitute one is brought down to a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man preys on your precious life. | 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 hold fire against his chest 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 a man walk on hot coals without scorching 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 the one who has sex with his neighbor's wife; no one who touches 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. | |
