The Temple of the Living God
14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For (B)what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or (C)what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 (D)What accord has Christ with Belial?[a] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (E)we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
(F)“I will make my dwelling among them and (G)walk among them,
and (H)I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore (I)go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
18 (J)and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”

11 If they say, “Come with us, (A)let us lie in wait for blood;
(B)let us ambush the innocent without reason;
12 like Sheol let us (C)swallow them alive,
and whole, like (D)those who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 my son, (E)do not walk in the way with them;
(F)hold back your foot from their paths,
16 for (G)their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17 (H)For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men (I)lie in wait for their own blood;
they (J)set an ambush for their own lives.
19 (K)Such are the ways of everyone who is (L)greedy for unjust gain;
(M)it takes away the life of its possessors.

Proverbs 2:12-20
English Standard Version
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to (A)walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who (B)rejoice in doing evil
and (C)delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose (D)paths are crooked,
(E)and who are (F)devious in their ways.
16 So (G)you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman,
from (H)the adulteress[b] with (I)her smooth words,
17 who forsakes (J)the companion of her youth
and forgets (K)the covenant of her God;
18 (L)for her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed;[c]
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
