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

⁷ And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

⁴ Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²⁴ Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

²¹ Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

²⁵ I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

²⁶ And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

²² He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

²³ Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

¹⁸ For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

¹⁹ None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit adultery.
