אַל־תַּחְמֹד יָפְיָהּ בִּלְבָבֶךָ וְאַל־תִּקָּֽחֲךָ בְּעַפְעַפֶּֽיהָ
Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her captivate thee with her eyelids.
כִּי בְעַד־אִשָּׁה זוֹנָה עַֽד־כִּכַּר לָחֶם וְאֵשֶׁת אִישׁ נֶפֶשׁ יְקָרָה תָצֽוּד
For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a loaf of bread, But the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
הֲיַחְתֶּה אִישׁ אֵשׁ בְּחֵיקוֹ וּבְגָדָיו לֹא תִשָּׂרַֽפְנָה
Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
אִם־יְהַלֵּךְ אִישׁ עַל־הַגֶּחָלִים וְרַגְלָיו לֹא תִכָּוֶֽינָה
Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
כֵּן הַבָּא אֶל־אֵשֶׁת רֵעֵהוּ לֹא יִנָּקֶה כָּֽל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּֽהּ
So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not go unpunished.
