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.
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.
