6:20. My son, keep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the
law of thy mother.
6:21. Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.
6:22. When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let
them keep thee, and when thou awakest, talk with them.
6:23. Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and
reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
6:24. That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the
flattering tongue of the stranger.
6:25. Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:
6:26. For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman
catcheth the precious soul of a man.
6:27. Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?
6:28. Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?
6:29. So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife, shall not be clean
when he shall touch her.
6:30. The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth
to fill his hungry soul:
The fault is not so great, etc... The sin of theft is not so great, as
to be compared with adultery: especially when a person pressed with
hunger (which is the case here spoken of) steals to satisfy nature.
Moreover the damage done by theft may much more easily be repaired, than
the wrong done by adultery. But this does not hinder, but that theft
also is a mortal sin, forbidden by one of the ten commandments.
6:31. And if he be taken, he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up
all the substance of his house.
6:32. But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall
destroy his own soul:
6:33. He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach
shall not be blotted out:
6:34. Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the
day of revenge,
6:35. Nor will he yield to any man's prayers, nor will he accept for
satisfaction ever so many gifts.
Proverbs Chapter 7
The love of wisdom is the best preservative from being led astray by
temptation.
7:1. My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,
7:2. Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple
of thy eye:
7:3. Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.
7:4. Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,
7:5. That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from
the stranger who sweeteneth her words.
7:6. For I looked out of the window of my house through the lattice,
7:7. And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,
7:8. Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the
way of her house,
7:9. In the dark when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of
the night.
7:10. And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot's attire, prepared to
deceive souls: talkative and wandering,
