Proverbs 2:13-18 New English Translation (NET)

13. who leave the upright pathsto walk on the dark ways,

14. who delight in doing evil,they rejoice in perverse evil;

15. whose paths are morally crooked,and who are devious in their ways;

16. to deliver you from the adulteress,from the sexually loose woman who speaks flattering words;

17. who leaves the husband from her younger days,and forgets her marriage covenant made before God.

18. For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits.
