     26. The supplied words give a better sense than the old version: "The price of a whore is a piece of bread."

      adulteress—(Compare Margin), which the parallel and context (Pr 6:29-35) sustain. Of similar results of this sin, compare Pr 5:9-12.

      will hunt—alluding to the snares spread by harlots (compare Pr 7:6-8).

      precious life—more valuable than all else.
