Proverbs 6:32-35

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.

³⁴For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

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

He who would ^(B)destroy ^[b]himself commits it.

And his shame will not be removed.
³⁴For ^(C)jealousy ^[c]enrages a man,
And he will not have compassion on the ^(D)day of vengeance.
³⁵He will not ^[d]accept any settlement,
Nor will he be ^[e]satisfied though you make it a large gift.
