Proverbs 23:27

Proverbs 23:27

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

This verse is part of the father's urgent warning about sexual immorality. The imagery of a deep ditch and narrow pit conveys entrapment — once you fall in, it is extremely difficult to get out. The warning is not against all women but against the pattern of sinful sexual behaviour, which Scripture consistently presents as a deadly trap.

Memory phrase: Stay away from the wrong path.

Talk about it: What should you do when you see a path that looks easy but leads somewhere dangerous?

Prayer: God, keep me far from every trap and wrong path.
