For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 23 of Proverbs. The call to listen to one’s father and not despise an aging mother is connected with acquiring truth, wisdom, discipline, and understanding. The warning against prostitution and adultery then returns through the image of a deep pit and a robber. The teaching continues the themes of earlier chapters: sexual immorality does not merely promise momentary pleasure, but draws a person into a pattern of loss and deception.

Denn eine Hure ist eine tiefe Grube, und eine Ehebrecherin ist ein enger Brunnen.
Porque sima profunda es la ramera, Y pozo angosto la extraña.
Porque la prostituta es una fosa profunda, y la mujer ajena, un pozo estrecho.
Car la prostituée est une fosse profonde, Et l'étrangère un puits étroit.
Perciocchè la meretrice è una fossa profonda, E la straniera un pozzo stretto.
Porque cova profunda é a prostituta, e poço estreito a estranha.
妓女是深坑, 外邦女子是窄井。
