Proverbs 6:29

Warning Against Relations With A Married Woman

²⁸ Can a man walk on burning coals
without scorching his feet?
²⁹ So it is with the one who sleeps with
another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
³⁰ People don’t despise the thief if he steals
to satisfy himself when he is hungry.
