Proverbs 6:28
King James VersionSource notes
“Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?”
Context
25Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26For by means of a whorish woman to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
30do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31But he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
