PROVERBS 23:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.”
For a prostitute is a deep pit, and an adulteress is a narrow well—a metaphorical warning about sexual temptation, establishing that the seductress is fundamentally dangerous, creating inescapable traps. The metaphors 'deep pit' and 'narrow well' both describe inescapable enclosure. The theological significance involves the principle that sexual sin is uniquely dangerous because it entraps.
