27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife and touches her; he shall not be innocent. 30 No one wonders at a thief when he is caught stealing, for he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry; 31 But if he is caught, he shall pay sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house. 32 But he who commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding, and he destroys his own soul. 33 And he who does it brings dishonor upon himself; and his reproach shall not be wiped out. 34 For jealousy provokes a man's rage; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; nor will he listen, though you increase the bribe.
