Proverbs 6:27

⁹“If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door, ¹⁰then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her. ¹¹For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, ¹²for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.

⁵So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

⁴They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened. ⁵On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers. ⁶For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their anger smolders all night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire. ⁷They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
