Proverbs 23:27-35

²⁷For a whore is a deep ditch, and an alien woman, is a strait pit.

²⁸She setteth ambush in the way, as a thief; and shall add despisers in men, that is, shall multiply despisers of God among men.

²⁹To whom is woe? to whose father is woe? to whom be chidings? to whom be ditches? to whom be wounds without cause? to whom is putting out of eyes?

³⁰Whether not to them, that dwell in wine, and study to drink up all of cups?

³¹Behold thou not the wine, when it sparkleth, when the colour thereof shineth in a glass cup. It entereth sweetly,

³²but at the last it shall bite as an adder, and as a cockatrice it shall shed abroad venoms.

³³Thine eyes shall see strange women, and thy heart shall speak wayward things.

³⁴And thou shalt be as a man sleeping in the midst of the sea, and as a governor asleeped or sleeping, when the steering, either the instrument of governance, is lost.

³⁵And thou shalt say, They beat me, but I had not sorrow; they drew me, and I feeled not; when shall I wake out, and I shall find wines again?
