29So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife; whosoeuer toucheth her, shall not be innocent. 30Men doe not despise a thiefe, if he steale to satisfie his soule, when hee is hungry: 31But if he be found, he shall restore seuenfold, he shall giue all the substance of his house. 32But who so committeth adultery with a woman, lacketh vnderstanding: hee that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule. 33A wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproch shall not be wiped away.
