And king Solomon hath loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, [and] of the Hittites,

'By these did not Solomon king of Israel sin? and among the many nations there was no king like him, and beloved by his God he was, and God maketh him king over all Israel -- even him did the strange women cause to sin.

A deep pit [is] the mouth of strange women, The abhorred of Jehovah falleth there.

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

As a dog hath returned to its vomit, A fool is repeating his folly.

If thou dost beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed things -- with a pestle, His folly turneth not aside from off him.

and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.
