27	הֲיַחְתֶּ֤ה אִ֓ישׁ אֵ֬שׁ בְּחֵיק֑וֹ וּ֝בְגָדָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִשָּׂרַֽפְנָה׃	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	אִם־ יְהַלֵּ֣ךְ אִ֭ישׁ עַל־ הַגֶּחָלִ֑ים וְ֝רַגְלָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִכָּוֶֽינָה׃	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	כֵּ֗ן הַ֭בָּא אֶל־ אֵ֣שֶׁת רֵעֵ֑הוּ לֹ֥א יִ֝נָּקֶ֗ה כָּֽל־ הַנֹּגֵ֥עַ בָּֽהּ׃	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.
30	לֹא־ יָב֣וּזוּ לַ֭גַּנָּב כִּ֣י יִגְנ֑וֹב לְמַלֵּ֥א נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ כִּ֣י יִרְעָֽב׃	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	וְ֭נִמְצָא יְשַׁלֵּ֣ם שִׁבְעָתָ֑יִם אֶת־ כָּל־ ה֖וֹן בֵּית֣וֹ יִתֵּֽן׃	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	נֹאֵ֣ף אִשָּׁ֣ה חֲסַר־ לֵ֑ב מַֽשְׁחִ֥ית נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ ה֣וּא יַעֲשֶֽׂנָּה׃	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	נֶֽגַע־ וְקָל֥וֹן יִמְצָ֑א וְ֝חֶרְפָּת֗וֹ לֹ֣א תִמָּחֶֽה׃	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	כִּֽי־ קִנְאָ֥ה חֲמַת־ גָּ֑בֶר וְלֹֽא־ יַ֝חְמ֗וֹל בְּי֣וֹם נָקָֽם׃	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	לֹא־ יִ֭שָּׂא פְּנֵ֣י כָל־ כֹּ֑פֶר וְלֹֽא־ יֹ֝אבֶ֗ה כִּ֣י תַרְבֶּה־ שֹֽׁחַד׃ פ	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.
