Proverbs 23:27-35

²⁷For a harlot is a deep ditch, And a strange woman is a strait pit.

²⁸She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.

²⁹Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?

³⁰Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.

³¹See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.

³²Its latter end — as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.

³³Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.

³⁴And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.

³⁵'They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake — I seek it yet again!'
