Proverbs 2:16-20
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.
20 Therefore walk in the way of the good,
and keep to the paths of the just.
