Proverbs 6:28
26 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?
Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
