Proverbs 2:16-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ ⌞Wisdom will⌟ also save you
from an adulterous woman,
from a loose woman with her smooth talk,
¹⁷ who leaves ⌞her husband,⌟ the closest friend of her youth,
and forgets her marriage vows to her God.
¹⁸ Her house sinks down to death.
Her ways lead to the souls of the dead.
¹⁹ None who have sex with her come back.
Nor do they ever reach the paths of life.

²⁰ So walk in the way of good people
and stay on the paths of righteous people.
