Proverbs 6:24-28

English Standard Version

²⁴ to preserve you from the evil woman,^[a]
    from the smooth tongue of ^(A)the adulteress.^[b]
25 (B)Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
    and do not let her capture you with her ^(C)eyelashes;
²⁶ for ^(D)the price of a prostitute is only ^(E)a loaf of bread,^[c]
    but a married woman^{[d] (F)}hunts down a precious life.
²⁷ Can a man carry ^(G)fire next to his ^(H)chest
    and his clothes not be burned?
²⁸ Or can one ^(I)walk on hot coals
    and his feet not be scorched?
