Proverbs 22:14
The
mouth of strange women is a deep pit:
he
that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.
The
strange woman spoken of in the scriptures refers to a loose woman. She could be a prostitute or a woman who is
luring a man into sexual sin without any payment at all. Here the Lord is warning us about the mouth
of a strange woman. This is referring to
what she says and how she says it. We
are not to be like this strange woman.
We must not have words come out of our mouths that create a pit for a
man to fall in. If we are around a man
that is not our husband we must not speak of sexual matters or jest concerning
the flesh. Our pasts should not be
discussed and flattery with the intent of enticing should never proceed from
our mouths. The Lord abhors it when men
fall into these traps so we must never be women who facilitate what the Lord
abhors. Let us desire to represent the
Lord and be safe for men to be around.
Let us not be those deep pits.
Let us be women who adorn the gospel by our purity and
wholesomeness. Then, we will really
stand out!
