Proverbs 6:23-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
23For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And rebukes for discipline are the way of life 24To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the foreign woman. 25Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids. 26For the price of a prostitute reduces one to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for a precious life. 27Can anyone take fire in his lap And his clothes not be burned?King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
23For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light, and corrective discipline is the way to life. 24They will protect you from an evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a wayward woman. 25Don’t lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyelashes. 26For a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man goes after a precious life. 27Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?New Living Translation
Chapter 6
23For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life. 24It will keep you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman. 25Don’t lust for her beauty. Don’t let her coy glances seduce you. 26For a prostitute will bring you to poverty, but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life. 27Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire?English Standard Version
Chapter 6
23For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life, 24to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress. 25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes; 26for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life. 27Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?New International Version
New King James Version
