Proverbs 6:27 Context
25Lust not after her beautie in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26For by meanes of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteresse will hunt for the precious life. 27Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt? 28Can one goe vpon hote coales, and his feete not be burnt? 29So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife; whosoeuer toucheth her, shall not be innocent.
