Proverbs 6

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

32 Ref He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.

33 Ref Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away.

34 Ref For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy.

35 Ref He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

32 Ref He who committeth adultery `with' a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.

33 Ref A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,

34 Ref For jealousy `is' the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.

35 Ref He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

32 Ref He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.

33 Ref Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.

34 Ref For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35 Ref He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
