John Chrysostom, on Prov 23:27

“For a harlot is a deep ditch: and a strange woman is a narrow pit.”

“Solomon compared the love of [such a] woman with the deep pit. She calls a halt only when she sees that her lover has been stripped of all his possessions. Even more so, she does not stop then but decks herself out more elaborately and insults him in his humiliation, and draws ridicule upon him, and causes him so much misfortune that words are inadequate to describe it.”
