Proverbs, Chapter 2, verses 16-19

¹ The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security

¹⁶

To deliver you from the strange woman,
From the^badulteress who flatters with her words;

¹⁷

That leaves the companion of her youth
And forgets the covenant of her God;

¹⁸

For her house^csinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the^ddead;

¹⁹

None who go to her return again,
Nor do they reach the paths of life.
