"For on account of a harlota man is broughtto a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life. "
— Proverbs 6:26, American Standard Version
“For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.”
“For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.”
“for on account of a prostitute one is brought down to a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man preys on your precious life.”
“For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.”
“For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.”
“For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.”
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.
Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
For on account of a harlota man is broughtto a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
