Proverbs 6:31,35
Proverbs 6:31 New International Version (NIV)
Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
Proverbs 6:35 New International Version (NIV)
He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.
Proverbs 6:31 New King James Version (NKJV)
Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house.
Proverbs 6:35 New King James Version (NKJV)
He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
Proverbs 6:24-35 The Message (MSG)
They’ll protect you from promiscuous women, from the seductive talk of some temptress. Don’t lustfully fantasize on her beauty, nor be taken in by her bedroom eyes. You can buy an hour with a prostitute for a loaf of bread, but a promiscuous woman may well eat you alive. Can you build a fire in your lap and not burn your pants? Can you walk barefoot on hot coals and not get blisters? It’s the same when you have sex with your neighbor’s wife: Touch her and you’ll pay for it. No excuses. Hunger is no excuse for a thief to steal; When he’s caught he has to pay it back, even if he has to put his whole house in hock. Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive; Expect a bloody nose, a black eye, and a reputation ruined for good. For jealousy detonates rage in a cheated husband; wild for revenge, he won’t make allowances. Nothing you say or pay will make it all right; neither bribes nor reason will satisfy him.
