In context
22 When thou walkest abroad, it shall guide thee, when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee, when thou wakest, it shall speak to thee:
23 For, a lamp, is the commandment, and, the instruction, a light, and, the way of life, are the reproofs of correction:
24 To keep thee from the wicked woman, from the flattery of the tongue of her that is a stranger.
25 Do not covet her beauty, in thy heart, neither let her take thee, by her eyelashes;
26 Because, for the sake of an impure woman, [a man may be brought] even to a cake of bread,—and, a man’s wife, for a precious soul, may hunt!
27 Can a man snatch up fire in his bosom, and, his clothes, not be burned?
28 Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and, his feet, not be burned?
