26For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.


In Context

23 For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction,

24 To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

25 Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.

26 For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.

27 Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?

28 Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?
