Proverbs 2:17


Proverbs 2:16 Proverbs 2:17 (KJV) Proverbs 2:18
To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
