So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 6 of Proverbs. Through rhetorical questions, the text shows the impossibility of playing with fire without suffering consequences and applies the image to adultery. Someone who steals food may repay what was stolen, but adultery wounds a relationship and provokes a response that cannot simply be resolved through material compensation. The emphasis falls on the social and personal gravity of breaking marital faithfulness.

Also gehet's dem, der zu seines Nächsten Weib geht; es bleibt keiner ungestraft, der sie berührt.
Así el que entrare a la mujer de su prójimo; No será sin culpa cualquiera que la tocare.
Il en est de même pour celui qui va vers la femme de son prochain: Quiconque la touche ne restera pas impuni.
Così avviene a chi entra dalla moglie del suo prossimo; Chiunque la tocca non sarà innocente.
Assim ficará o que entrar à mulher do seu próximo; não será inocente todo aquele que a tocar.
與鄰舍之妻同寢的,也是如此, 凡親近她的,難免受罰。
