Proverbs
Chapters 2:12-18
New International Version Anglicized
12Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,from men whose words are perverse,
13who have left the straight pathsto walk in dark ways,
14who delight in doing wrongand rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15whose paths are crookedand who are devious in their ways.
16Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17who has left the partner of her youthand ignored the covenant she made before God.
18Surely her house leads down to deathand her paths to the spirits of the dead.
