Proverbs 2:15

Compare all

13 From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To ^awalk in the ways of darkness;

14 ^aWho rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;

15 ^aWhose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;

16 To deliver you from ^athe immoral woman,
^bFrom the seductress who flatters with her words,

17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.

18 For ^aher house leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead;

19 None who go to her return,
Nor do they¹ regain the paths of life—

20 So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
