Proverbs 2:16-19
21st Century King James Version
16 Wisdom will deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger, who flattereth with her words,
17 who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God;
18 for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman,
Even from the foreigner that [a]flattereth with her words;
17 That forsaketh the [b]friend of her youth,
And forgetteth the covenant of her God:
18 For [c]her house inclineth unto death,
And her paths unto [d]the dead;
19 None that go unto her return again,
Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:
