Proverbs 2:16-22
16To 1deliver you from the strange woman, From the 23adulteress who flatters with her words;17That leaves the 4companion of her youth And forgets the 5covenant of her God;18For 6her house 7sinks down to death And her tracks lead to the 8dead;19None 9who go to her return again, Nor do they reach the 10paths of life.20So you will 11walk in the way of good men And keep to the 12paths of the righteous.21For 13the upright will 14live in the land And 15the blameless will remain in it;22But 16the wicked will be cut off from the land And 17the treacherous will be 18uprooted from it.
