16 You will be saved from the loose[a] woman,
    from the adventuress[b] with her smooth words,
17 who forsakes the companion of her youth
    and forgets the covenant of her God;
18 for her house sinks down to death,
    and her paths to the shades;
19 none who go to her come back
    nor do they regain the paths of life.
