Proverbs 6:23-25
New Catholic Bible
23 For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light,[a]
and the corrections of discipline point the way to life,
24 to preserve you from an immoral woman,
from the seductive tongue of an adulteress.
25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart
or allow her to entice you with her eyes.
