The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 2, Verse 18

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

King James Version

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

American Standard Version

For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;

New English Translation

For she has set her house by death, and her paths by the place of the departed spirits.

World English Bible

for her house leads down to death, her paths to 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.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
