29 So also is it with someone who has sex with his neighbor's wife; anyone touching her will not remain unpunished.

30 A thief isn't despised if he steals to meet his needs when he is hungry,

31 but when he is discovered, he must restore seven-fold, forfeiting the entire value of his house.

32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman is out of his mind; by doing so he corrupts his own soul.

33 He will receive a beating and dishonor, and his shame won't disappear,

34 because jealousy incites a strong man's rage, and he will show no mercy when it's time for revenge.

35 He will not consider any payment, nor will he be willing to accept it, no matter how large the bribe.
