Proverbs 6:27

American Standard Version (1901)

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

See the chapter Copy

So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
