ગણિકા એક ઊંડી ખાઈ છે અને પરસ્ત્રી એ સાંકડો કૂવો છે.

वेश्या गहरा गड्ढा ठहरती है; और पराई स्त्री सकेत कुएँ के समान है।

In context

25Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!

26My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

27For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.

28Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.

29Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
