Proverbs 6:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 to preserve you from the wife of another,[a]
from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.[b](A)
25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes,(B)
26 for a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread,[c]
but the wife of another stalks a man’s precious life.(C)
