Proverbs 6:26

²⁴ to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

²⁵ Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.

For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

²⁷ Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?

²⁸ Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
