Proverbs · chapter 6 · verse 25
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.Proverbs 6:25 · King James Version
Proverbs 6:25 in context
23For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

26For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought 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?
