²⁰ My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother: ²¹ Tye them continually in thyne heart, and bynde them about thy necke. ²² That shall leade thee when thou goest, preserue thee when thou art asleepe, and when thou awakest talke with thee. ²³ For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a light: yea chastening and nurture is the way of life: ²⁴ That they may kepe thee from the euyll woman, and from the flattering tongue of the straunge woman. ²⁵ Lust not after her beautie in thyne heart, lest thou be taken with her fayre lokes. ²⁶ By an harlot [a man is brought] to beg his bread, and a woman wyll hunte for the pretious life of man. ²⁷ May a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? ²⁸ Or can one go vpon hotte coales, and his feete not be brent? ²⁹ Euen so, whosoeuer goeth in to his neyghbours wife and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Can a man take fire in his bosom,.... A whore is compared to fire, and is so called by the poets o; and it is a saying of Pythagoras,

"it is a like thing to fall into fire and into a woman p;''

the Hebrew words אש, "esh", "fire", and אישה, "ishah", "a woman", have some affinity in sound; and the phrase of taking it "into the bosom" fitly expresses the impure embraces of a harlot;

and his clothes not be burned? he cannot, it is impossible; and equally vain is it to think that a man can commit whoredom and it not be known, or he not hurt by it in his name and substance, or in his body, soul, and life.

o Plauti Bacehides, Act. 4. Sc. 9. v. 15. "Accede ad ignem hunc", Terent. Eunuehus, Act. 1. Sc. 2. v. 5. p το εις πυρ και εις γυναικα, apud Maximum, Eclog. c. 39.
