Proverbs 6:33
31 Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house.
32 He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.
34 For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance.
35 He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
