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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 You will be saved from the loose woman,[a]
from the adulteress[b] with her smooth words,(A)
17 who forsakes the partner of her youth
and forgets her sacred covenant,
18 for her way[c] leads down to death
and her paths to the shades;(B)
19 those who go to her never come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
