Proverbs 6:24-26
Contemporary English Version
24 They will protect you
from the flattering words
of someone else's wife.[a]
25 Don't let yourself be attracted
by the charm and lovely eyes
of someone like that.
26 A woman who sells her love
can be bought for as little
as the price of a meal.
But making love
to another man's wife
will cost you everything.
