Proverbs 6:27

A Conservative Version

Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

See the chapter Copy

So also the tongue is a little body-part, and boasts greatly. Behold a little fire, how much wood it kindles.

For the price of a harlot is as much as a piece of bread, but the adulteress hunts for the precious life.

Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
