Proverbs 6:24-26
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
24 to preserve you from the wife of another,[a]
from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
26 for a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread,[b]
but the wife of another stalks a man’s very life.
