| 25 | Thou shalt not desire her beauty in thy heart, and she shall not take thee with her eyelashes. | 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 by a woman a harlot, even to a round of bread: and a man's wife will hunt the precious soul. | 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 | A man taking fire in his bosom, shall his garments not be burnt? | 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 | If a man shall go upon burning coals shall his feet not be burnt? | 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 he going in to his neighbor's wife; all touching upon her shall not be innocent. | 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. | |
