Proverbs 2:16-20

World English Bible

¹⁶ to deliver you from the strange woman,
    even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,
¹⁷ who forsakes the friend of her youth,
    and forgets the covenant of her God;
¹⁸ for her house leads down to death,
    her paths to the departed spirits.
¹⁹ None who go to her return again,
    neither do they attain to the paths of life.
²⁰ So you may walk in the way of good men,
    and keep the paths of the righteous.
