The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 2, Verse 17

To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;

King James Version

Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

American Standard Version

That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

New English Translation

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

World English Bible

who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God:

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], and keep the paths of the righteous.

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
