Proverbs 6:26-28
New Catholic Bible

26 For if a prostitute seeks a loaf of bread,
    the adulteress endangers your very life.[a]
27 Can a man kindle a fire in his bosom
    without burning his clothes?
28 Or can a man walk on red-hot coals
    without scorching his feet?

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 6:26 Both a prostitute and an adulteress hold no good for a man. However, the adulteress is more dangerous, for she can cost him his whole life (see Deut 22:22-24) while a prostitute demands only a wage.
