Proverbs 6:24-26
New King James Version
24 (A)To keep you from the evil woman,
From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
25 (B)Do not lust after her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
26 For (C)by means of a harlot
A man is reduced to a crust of bread;
(D)And [a]an adulteress will (E)prey upon his precious life.
