In context
23 For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25 Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.
27 Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
