shall touch her. 6:30. The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul: The fault is not so great, etc... The sin of theft is not so great, as to be compared with adultery: especially when a person pressed with hunger (which is the case here spoken of) steals to satisfy nature. Moreover the damage done by theft may much more easily be repaired, than the wrong done by adultery. But this does not hinder, but that theft also is a mortal sin, forbidden by one of the ten commandments. 6:31. And if he be taken, he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house. 6:32. But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul: 6:33. He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out: 6:34. Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge, 6:35. Nor will he yield to any man's prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts. Proverbs Chapter 7 The love of wisdom is the best preservative from being led astray by temptation. 7:1. My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son, 7:2. Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye: 7:3. Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart. 7:4. Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend, 7:5. That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words. 7:6. For I looked out of the window of my house through the lattice, 7:7. And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man, 7:8. Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house, 7:9. In the dark when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night. 7:10. And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot's attire, prepared to deceive souls: talkative and wandering, 7:11. Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home, 7:12. Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners. 7:13. And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying: 7:14. I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows. 7:15. Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee. 7:16. I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.
