The lazy person imagines exaggerated dangers to justify inactivity. A warning then appears against sexual seduction and exploiting the poor for personal gain. The passage brings together different forms of deception and abuse that corrupt human relationships.

Der Huren Mund ist eine Tiefe Grube; wem der HERR ungnädig ist, der fällt hinein.
Sima profunda es la boca de las extrañas: Aquel contra el cual estuviere Jehová airado, caerá en ella.
La boca de las mujeres ajenas es una fosa profunda; aquel contra quien Jehová está airado caerá allí.
La bouche des étrangères est une fosse profonde; Celui contre qui l'Eternel est irrité y tombera.
La bocca delle donne straniere è una fossa profonda; Colui contro a cui il Signore è indegnato vi caderà dentro
Cova profunda é a boca das mulheres estranhas; aquele contra quem o SENHOR se irar, cairá nela.
陌生女子的口是深坑, 耶和華所憎惡的,必陷在其中。
