Proverbs 6:23-29
New Living Translation
23 For their command is a lamp
and their instruction a light;
their corrective discipline
is the way to life.
24 It will keep you from the immoral woman,
from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.
25 Don’t lust for her beauty.
Don’t let her coy glances seduce you.
26 For a prostitute will bring you to poverty,[a]
but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life.
27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lap
and not have his clothes catch on fire?
28 Can he walk on hot coals
and not blister his feet?
29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife.
He who embraces her will not go unpunished.
Notas al pie
- 6:26 Hebrew to a loaf of bread.
Proverbs 6:23-29
English Standard Version
23 For the commandment is (A)a lamp and the teaching a light,
and the (B)reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
24 to preserve you from the evil woman,[a]
from the smooth tongue of (C)the adulteress.[b]
25 (D)Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her (E)eyelashes;
26 for (F)the price of a prostitute is only (G)a loaf of bread,[c]
but a married woman[d] (H)hunts down a precious life.
27 Can a man carry (I)fire next to his (J)chest
and his clothes not be burned?
28 Or can one (K)walk on hot coals
and his feet not be scorched?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;
none who touches her (L)will go unpunished.
