A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
The opening seven chapters of Proverbs give instruction that calls a person to heed reproof and to choose wisdom as the path of life. Within that instruction, adultery brings the one who commits it a wound and dishonor. The reproach that results from that sin cannot be erased and will not be wiped away. To reject such instruction and to break God's spiritual laws brings spiritual disease and death, leaving a broken and wasted life.
