But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

Verse 32 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.

Aber wer mit einem Weibe die Ehe bricht, der ist ein Narr; der bringt sein Leben ins Verderben.
Mas el que comete adulterio con la mujer, es falto de entendimiento: Corrompe su alma el que tal hace.
El que comete adulterio con una mujer carece de juicio; quien lo hace se destruye a sí mismo.
Mais celui qui commet un adultère avec une femme est dépourvu de sens, Celui qui veut se perdre agit de la sorte;
Chi commette adulterio con una donna è scemo di senno; Chi vuol perder l’anima sua faccia tal cosa.
Assim, o que adultera com uma mulher é falto de entendimento; aquele que faz isso destrói a sua alma.
與婦人行姦淫的,便是無知, 做這事的,必毀了自己。
