Proverbs 6:30-35
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
30 Thieves are not despised
if out of hunger they steal to satisfy their appetite.
31 Yet if caught they must pay back sevenfold,
yield up all the wealth of their house.
32 But those who commit adultery have no sense;
those who do it destroy themselves.
33 [a]They will be beaten and disgraced,
and their shame will not be wiped away;
34 For passion enrages the husband,
he will have no pity on the day of vengeance;
35 He will not consider any restitution,
nor be satisfied by your many bribes.
Proverbs 6:30-35
New King James Version
30 People do not despise a thief
If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
31 Yet when he is found, (A)he must restore sevenfold;
He may have to give up all the substance of his house.
32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman (B)lacks understanding;
He who does so destroys his own soul.
33 Wounds and dishonor he will get,
And his reproach will not be wiped away.
34 For (C)jealousy is a husband’s fury;
Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will [a]accept no recompense,
Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
