or let her captivate you with her eyes.

23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Proverbs, your parents’ teaching, and horse sense agree:
Adultery and Fornication are both to be abhorred.
Virginity is the scriptural standard.
