Proverbs 6:20-35

ECB(i) 20 My son, guard the misvah of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother: 21 bind them continually on your heart and fasten them about your throat. 22 in going, it leads you; in lying down, it guards you; and in wakening, it meditates with you. 23 For the misvah is a lamp; and the torah a light; and reproofs of discipline, the way of life 24 to guard you from the evil woman: from the tongue of a stranger who smoothes it over. 25 Neither desire her beauty in your heart; nor be overtaken by her eyelids: 26 for a woman whores for a round of bread; and a woman of a man hunts for the esteemed soul. 27 Takes a man fire in his bosom and not burn his clothes? 28 - a man go on coals and not blister his feet? 29 Thus he who goes in to the woman of his friend; whoever touches her is not exonerated. 30 Despise not a thief if he steals to fill his soul when he famishes; 31 and being found out, he shalams sevenfold; he gives all the wealth of his house. 32 He who adulterizes with a woman, lacks heart; he who thus works ruins his own soul: 33 he finds plague and abasement; and his reproach wipes not away. 34 For jealousy is the fury of the mighty; and he spares not in the day of avengement; 35 he neither lifts the face of any koper/atonement; nor wills he though you abound bribes.
