Proverbs 6:26

For by means of an adulterous woman until a circle he has battled,1 and a woman of a man is hunting a precious soul.

Footnote:

Pro. 6:26

Strongs #3898 לחם lacham. to fight, do battle. This word is also the same as לחם bread/loaf. Without a verb in this clause, and using the word bread/loaf, the phrase is impossible to translate with any sense, hence the wide variety of cocktail renderings of this verse.
