Proverbs 2:16-19
New American Standard Bible
16 To (A)rescue you from the strange woman,
From the (B)foreign woman who flatters with her words,
17 Who leaves the (C)companion of her youth
And forgets the (D)covenant of her God;
18 For (E)her house sinks down to death,
And her tracks lead to the [a]dead;
19 None (F)who go to her return,
Nor do they reach the (G)paths of life.

16 To deliver you from (A)the immoral woman,
(B)From the seductress who flatters with her words,

And her paths to the dead;
19 None who go to her return,
Nor do they [b]regain the paths of life—
