Proverbs 6:25 in context

  1. 23For the commandment is a lamp,
    and the law is light.
    Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
  2. 24to keep you from the immoral woman,
    from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.
  3. 25Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart,
    neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
  4. 26For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread.
    The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
  5. 27Can a man scoop fire into his lap,
    and his clothes not be burned?
