16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,

from the wayward woman with her seductive words,

17 who has left the partner of her youth

and ignored the covenant she made before God.

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman,

Even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth,

And forgetteth the covenant of her God.

16 Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman,

from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.

17 She has abandoned her husband

and ignores the covenant she made before God.

16 To deliver you from the immoral woman,

From the seductress who flatters with her words,

17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,

And forgets the covenant of her God.

16 It will save you from the unfaithful wife

who tries to lead you into adultery with pleasing words.

17 She leaves the husband she married when she was young.

She ignores the promise she made before God.

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman,

Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

17 That forsaketh the friend of her youth,

And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words; 17 who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God;

16 ⸤Wisdom will⸥ also save you 

from an adulterous woman, 

from a loose woman with her smooth talk, 

17 who leaves ⸤her husband,⸥ the closest friend of her youth, 

and forgets her marriage vows to her God. 

16 It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,

from a stranger with her flattering talk,

17 who abandons the companion of her youth

and forgets the covenant of her God;

16 You will be saved from the loose woman,

from the adulteress with her smooth words,

17 who forsakes the partner of her youth

and forgets her sacred covenant;

16 in order to deliver you from a strange woman,

from a foreign woman who flatters with her sayings,

17 she who forsakes the partner of her youth

and has forgotten the covenant of her God,

16 Wisdom will save you from a woman who commits adultery.

It will save you from a sinful wife and her tempting words.

17 She leaves the man she married when she was young.

She breaks the promise she made to her God.

16 To deliver you from the strange woman,

From the adulteress who flatters with her words;

17 That leaves the companion of her youth

And forgets the covenant of her God;
