King James Version

³²But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

³³A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

³⁵He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
