Proverbs 2:16-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ To ^(A)deliver you from the strange woman,
From the ^[a](B)adulteress who flatters with her words;
¹⁷ That leaves the ^(C)companion of her youth
And forgets the ^(D)covenant of her God;
¹⁸ For ^(E)her house ^[b]sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the ^[c]dead;
¹⁹ None ^(F)who go to her return again,
Nor do they reach the ^(G)paths of life.
²⁰ So you will ^(H)walk in the way of good men
And keep to the ^(I)paths of the righteous.
