Proverbs 23:27 Context
24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. 25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. 26My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 27For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. 29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

This is wrong
My children have been taken my life stolen
Was removed from my peace life without reason..
Homeless no money
Unjustly ..
I have nothing except God family and friends ..
If God is with us
I can only pray
I know he is..
Thanks for your sight
I was blind
All this was caused by
My spiritual awaking..
It confused many ...
As I'm a songwriter
Although, I am not a preacher, I will be teaching others, during my spiritual walk, about this.
It is serious and you're right, it is one of the seven sins.
