Proverbs 2:16-22
16To 1rescue you from the strange woman, From the 2foreign woman who flatters with her words,17Who leaves the 3companion of her youth And forgets the 4covenant of her God;18For 5her house sinks down to death, And her tracks lead to the 6dead;19None 7who go to her return, Nor do they reach the 8paths of life.20So you will 9walk in the way of good people And keep to the 10paths of the righteous.21For 11the upright will live in the land, And 12the blameless will remain in it;22But 13the wicked will be eliminated from the land, And 14the treacherous will be 15torn away from it.
