Proverbs

¹⁶Wisdom will save you from that other woman, another man’s wife, who tempts you with sweet words. ¹⁷She married when she was young, but then she left her husband. She forgot the marriage vows she made before God. ¹⁸Going into her house leads to death. She will lead you to the grave. ¹⁹All who enter lose their life and never return. ²⁰Wisdom will help you follow the example of good people and stay on the right path. ²¹Honest people will live in the land, and those who do right will remain there. ²²But the wicked will be forced to leave. Those who lie and cheat will be thrown out of the land.
