 28Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
 29So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
 30Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
 31But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
 32But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
 33A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. (Prov. 6:25‑33)
