Proverbs 6:26-28
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
26 for a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread,[a]
but the wife of another stalks a man’s very life.
27 Can fire be carried in the bosom
without burning one’s clothes?
28 Or can one walk on hot coals
without scorching the feet?
