About Proverbs

Practical wisdom for daily living, largely from King Solomon.

Old Testament • Book #20

Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.

Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?

So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
