Proverbs 2:16-19
Legacy Standard Bible

16 To deliver you from the [a](A)strange woman,
From the [b](B)foreign woman who flatters with her words;
17 Who forsakes the close (C)companion of her youth
And forgets the (D)covenant of her God;
18 For (E)her house [c]sinks down to death
And her tracks descend to the [d]dead;
19 All (F)who go to her will not return,
And they will not reach the (G)paths of life.
