Proverbs 6 — Context

When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.

For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.

Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?

Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?
