Proverbs 2:16-19
Christian Standard Bible
16 It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,(A)
from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,(B)
17 who abandons the companion of her youth(C)
and forgets the covenant of her God;
18 for her house sinks down to death
and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.(D)
19 None return who go to her;
none reach the paths of life.(E)
Proverbs 2:16-19
Lexham English Bible
16 in order to deliver you from a strange woman,
from a foreign woman who flatters[a] with her sayings,
17 she who forsakes the partner of her youth
and has forgotten the covenant of her God,
18 for her house sinks to death,
and to the dead[b] are her paths.
19 Of all who go to her, none shall return,
nor do they reach paths of life.
