Pro 6:24-26 | ESV | STEP | to preserve you from the evil woman , from the smooth tongue of the adulteress .

Proverbs 6:24-26

24 to preserve you from the evil woman, ^{▼▼Revocalization (compare Septuagint) yields from the wife of a neighbor}
from the smooth tongue of ^bthe adulteress. ^{▼▼Hebrew the foreign woman}
25 ^dDo not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her ^eeyelashes;
26 for ^fthe price of a prostitute is only ^ga loaf of bread, ^{▼▼Or (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate) for a prostitute leaves a man with nothing but a loaf of bread}
but a married woman ^{▼▼Hebrew a man’s wife} ^jhunts down a precious life.
