Proverbs 6:20-22, 27-29, 32

Proverbs 6:20-22 NCV

My son, keep your father’s commands, and don’t forget your mother’s teaching. Keep their words in mind forever as though you had them tied around your neck. They will guide you when you walk. They will guard you when you sleep. They will speak to you when you are awake.

Proverbs 6:27-29 NCV

You cannot carry hot coals against your chest without burning your clothes, and you cannot walk on hot coals without burning your feet. The same is true if you have sexual relations with another man’s wife. Anyone who does so will be punished.

Proverbs 6:32 NCV

A man who takes part in adultery has no sense; he will destroy himself.
