Proverbs 2:16-22

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ They will save you from a woman who is a stranger,
from a loose woman with smooth talk,
¹⁷ who abandons the ruler she had in her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God.
¹⁸ Her house is sinking toward death,
her paths lead to the dead.
¹⁹ None who go to her return;
they never regain the path to life.
²⁰ Thus you will walk on the way of good people
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
²¹ For the upright will live in the land,
the pure-hearted will remain there;
²² but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
the unfaithful rooted out of it.
