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,

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

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;

Judah replied,“ Let her keep the items for herself; otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send this young goat, but you couldn’t find her.”About three months later Judah was told,“ Your daughter-in-law, Tamar, has been acting like a prostitute, and now she is pregnant.”“ Bring her out!” Judah said.“ Let her be burned to death!”As she was being brought out, she sent her father-in-law this message:“ I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added,“ Examine them. Whose signet ring, cord, and staff are these?”Judah recognized them and said,“ She is more in the right than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her intimately again.

Then she let him fall asleep on her lap and called a man to shave off the seven braids on his head. In this way, she made him helpless, and his strength left him.Then she cried,“ Samson, the Philistines are here!” When he awoke from his sleep, he said,“ I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.The Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes. They brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles, and he was forced to grind grain in the prison.

Didn’t King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations. He was loved by his God and God made him king over all Israel, yet foreign women drew him into sin.

They sacrifice on the mountaintops, and they burn offerings on the hills, and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters act promiscuously and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.I will not punish your daughters when they act promiscuously or your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, for the men themselves go off with prostitutes and make sacrifices with cult prostitutes. People without discernment are doomed.

So it is with the one who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.People don’t despise the thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry.Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much; he must give up all the wealth in his house.The one who commits adultery lacks sense; whoever does so destroys himself.He will get a beating and dishonor, and his disgrace will never be removed.For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.He will not be appeased by anything or be persuaded by lavish gifts.
