26 For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men. 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 Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments? 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 will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn 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 is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her. 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.
