If you do, you will lose your honor and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.

恐怕将你的尊荣给别人，将你的岁月给残忍的人；

免得将你的尊荣给别人，将你的岁月给残忍的人；

免得将你的尊荣给别人，将你的岁月给残忍的人；

免爾尊榮畀他人、歲月供殘暴、

恐爾精力為之漸耗、恐爾壽齡為之日促、

恐爾之榮榮或作精力為他人所敗、恐爾之年為殘忍者所促、

lest you lose your honor to others and your dignity to one who is cruel,

If you do, you will lose your honor to other people. You will give your self- respect to someone who is mean.

lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless,

Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others and your years to someone cruel;

Otherwise you will give your vigor to others, And your years to the cruel one;

Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;

Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;

Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others and your years to someone cruel;

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

lest you give your vigor to others and your years to a cruel person,

lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;

“ Then let her keep the things I gave her,” Judah said.“ I sent the young goat as we agreed, but you couldn’t find her. We’d be the laughingstock of the village if we went back again to look for her.”About three months later, Judah was told,“ Tamar, your daughter in law, has acted like a prostitute. And now, because of this, she’s pregnant.”“ Bring her out, and let her be burned!” Judah demanded.But as they were taking her out to kill her, she sent this message to her father in law:“ The man who owns these things made me pregnant. Look closely. Whose seal and cord and walking stick are these?”Judah recognized them immediately and said,“ She is more righteous than I am, because I didn’t arrange for her to marry my son Shelah.” And Judah never slept with Tamar again.

Delilah lulled Samson to sleep with his head in her lap, and then she called in a man to shave off the seven locks of his hair. In this way she began to bring him down, and his strength left him.Then she cried out,“ Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” When he woke up, he thought,“ I will do as before and shake myself free.” But he didn’t realize the Lord had left him.So the Philistines captured him and gouged out his eyes. They took him to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze chains and forced to grind grain in the prison.

“ Wasn’t this exactly what led King Solomon of Israel into sin?” I demanded.“ There was no king from any nation who could compare to him, and God loved him and made him king over all Israel. But even he was led into sin by his foreign wives.

They offer sacrifices to idols on the mountaintops. They go up into the hills to burn incense in the pleasant shade of oaks, poplars, and terebinth trees.“ That is why your daughters turn to prostitution, and your daughters in law commit adultery.But why should I punish them for their prostitution and adultery? For your men are doing the same thing, sinning with whores and shrine prostitutes. O foolish people! You refuse to understand, so you will be destroyed.

So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife. He who embraces her will not go unpunished.Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving.But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased.For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.He will accept no compensation, nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.
