In context

23For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; A way of life; reproof also and correction:

24To keep thee continually from a married woman, And from the calumny of a strange tongue.

— Proverbs 6:25 —

26For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; And a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.

27Shall anyone bind fire in his bosom, And not burn his garments?
