Proverbs 2:16-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,^(A)
from a stranger^[a] with her flattering talk,^(B)
17 who abandons the companion of her youth^(C)
and forgets the covenant of her God;
¹⁸ for her house sinks down to death
and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.^(D)
19 None return who go to her;
none reach the paths of life.^(E)
