World English Bible
"For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life."
— Proverbs 6:26, World English Bible
“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 on account of a harlota man is broughtto a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the 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. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?
Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
