Proverbs 6:27
New International Version
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
Hosea 7:4-7
English Standard Version
4 (A)They are all adulterers;
they are like a heated oven
whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
from the kneading of the dough
until it is leavened.
5 On the day of (B)our king, the princes
became sick with the heat of wine;
he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6 For with hearts like an oven (C)they approach their intrigue;
all night their anger smolders;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour their rulers.
All (D)their kings (E)have fallen,
and none of them calls upon me.
Hosea 7:4-7
New International Version
4 They are all adulterers,(A)
burning like an oven
whose fire the baker need not stir
from the kneading of the dough till it rises.
5 On the day of the festival of our king
the princes become inflamed with wine,(B)
and he joins hands with the mockers.(C)
6 Their hearts are like an oven;(D)
they approach him with intrigue.
Their passion smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven;
they devour their rulers.
All their kings fall,(E)
and none of them calls(F) on me.
Job 31:9-12
English Standard Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have (A)lain in wait at my neighbor's door,
10 then let my wife (B)grind for another,
and let others (C)bow down on her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity (D)to be punished by the judges;
12 for that would be a fire (E)that consumes as far as Abaddon,
and it would burn to the root all my increase.
Job 31:9-12
New International Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed(A) by a woman,(B)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(C) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(D)
11 For that would have been wicked,(E)
a sin to be judged.(F)
12 It is a fire(G) that burns to Destruction[a];(H)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(I)
