Proverbs 6:30-35

“Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving. 
But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house. 

But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself. 
He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased. 

For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge. 
He will accept no compensation, nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.”
Proverbs 6:30-35 NLT

Proverbs 6:24-29

“It will keep you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman. 
Don’t lust for her beauty. Don’t let her coy glances seduce you. For a prostitute will bring you to poverty, but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life. 
Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire? Can he walk on hot coals and not blister his feet? 
So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife. He who embraces her will not go unpunished.”
Proverbs 6:24-29 NLT

Proverbs 5:15-23

“Drink water from your own well— share your love only with your wife. Why spill the water of your springs in the streets, having sex with just anyone? 
You should reserve it for yourselves. Never share it with strangers. 

Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. 
Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love. 

Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman, or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman? For the LORD sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes. 
An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him. He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.”
Proverbs 5:15-23 NLT
