29 So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished.

30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry;

31 But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; He must give all the substance of his house.

32 The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself does it.

33 Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach will not be blotted out.

34 For jealousy enrages a man, And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35 He will not accept any ransom, Nor will he be satisfied though you give many gifts.
