Proverbs 2:16 in context

Proverbs 2:13–19

13

who forsake the paths of uprightness,

to walk in the ways of darkness,

14

who rejoice to do evil,

and delight in the perverseness of evil,

15

who are crooked in their ways,

and wayward in their paths,

16
Selected verse

to deliver you from the strange woman,

even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,

17

who forsakes the friend of her youth,

and forgets the covenant of her God;

18

for her house leads down to death,

her paths to the departed spirits.

19

None who go to her return again,

neither do they attain to the paths of life.
