This Proverb says, “The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is cursed of the Lord will fall into it.” This Proverb is primarily for men who are tempted to commit adultery, men who are tempted to be unfaithful with their wives. It is also for unmarried men who are inclined to indiscriminately have sex. The consequences of both situations can be devastating.
Men can be enticed into a dangerous sexual relationship by women who are inclined toward the same sinful pursuits. Temptations to fall into sin can be great for some men. Some men will not be able to resist being these temptations. Therefore, it is essential to avoid situations that will provide these temptations.
Men should avoid situations where they are alone with women who are not their wife. Sometimes this is unavoidable. However, men should always be aware of the danger.
An effective technique to avoid this sin is to think beyond the sin. A person should ponder the consequences of committing adultery or having illicit sex. It can lead to contracting a sexual disease. It can also destroy a marriage and family. That is worth considering.
