A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

Verse 33 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.

Dazu trifft ihn Plage und Schande, und seine Schande wird nicht ausgetilgt.
Plaga y vergüenza hallará; Y su afrenta nunca será raída.
Heridas y deshonra encontrará, y su vergüenza no se borrará.
Il n'aura que plaie et ignominie, Et son opprobre ne s'effacera point.
Egli troverà ferite ed ignominia; E il suo vituperio non sarà giammai cancellato.
Achará castigo e vilipêndio, e o seu opróbrio nunca se apagará.
他必受損傷和羞辱, 他的羞恥不得消除。
