Adultery: Penalty of Prostitution is Destruction — Proverbs 6 #5

Proverbs 6:27-35 New Living Translation (NLT)

Lessons for Daily Life

²⁷ Can a man scoop a flame into his lap
    and not have his clothes catch on fire?
²⁸ Can he walk on hot coals
    and not blister his feet?
²⁹ So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife.
    He who embraces her will not go unpunished.

³⁰ Excuses might be found for a thief
    who steals because he is starving.
³¹ But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
    even if he has to sell everything in his house.

³² But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool,

    for he destroys himself.

³³ He will be wounded and disgraced.

    His shame will never be erased.

³⁴ For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious,

    and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.

³⁵ He will accept no compensation,

    nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.
