## Proverbs 6:30-31 in Context (Verses 27–34 KJV)
 
 [27 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/27) Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
 
 [28 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/28) Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
 
 [29 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/29) So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/30) *Men* do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
 
 [31 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/31) But *if* he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/32) *But* whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he *that* doeth it destroyeth his own soul.*
 
 [33 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/33) A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/proverbs/6/34) For jealousy *is* the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
 
[Proverbs 5](/kjv/proverbs/5) [Proverbs 7](/kjv/proverbs/7)
