Proverbs 2:17–19

17 who has left the partner of her youth

and ignored the covenant she made before God.

18 Surely her house leads down to death

and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

19 None who go to her return

or attain the paths of life.

17 who forsakes the companion of her youth

and forgets the covenant of her God;

18 for her house sinks down to death,

and her paths to the departed;

19 none who go to her come back,

nor do they regain the paths of life.

17 She has abandoned her husband

and ignores the covenant she made before God.

18 Entering her house leads to death;

it is the road to the grave.

19 The man who visits her is doomed.

He will never reach the paths of life.

17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,

And forgets the covenant of her God.

18 For her house leads down to death,

And her paths to the dead;

19 None who go to her return,

Nor do they regain the paths of life—

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

She ignores the promise she made before God.

18 Her house is on the way to death;

those who took that path are now all dead.

19 No one who goes to her comes back

or walks the path of life again.

17 That forsaketh the friend of her youth,

And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

18 For her house inclineth unto death,

And her paths unto the dead;

19 None that go unto her return again,

Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

17 who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God; 18 —for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead; 19 none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:

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

and forgets her marriage vows to her God. 

18 Her house sinks down to death. 

Her ways lead to the souls of the dead. 

19 None who have sex with her come back. 

Nor do they ever reach the paths of life. 

17 who abandons the companion of her youth

and forgets the covenant of her God;

18 for her house sinks down to death

and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.

19 None return who go to her;

none reach the paths of life.

17 who forsakes the partner of her youth

and forgets her sacred covenant,

18 for her way leads down to death

and her paths to the shades;

19 those who go to her never come back,

nor do they regain the paths of life.

17 she who forsakes the partner of her youth

and has forgotten the covenant of her God,

18 for her house sinks to death,

and to the dead are her paths.

19 Of all who go to her, none shall return,

nor do they reach paths of life.

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

She breaks the promise she made to her God.

18 Her house leads down to death.

Her paths lead to the spirits of the dead.

19 No one who goes to her comes back

or reaches the paths of life.

17 That leaves the companion of her youth

And forgets the covenant of her God;

18 For her house sinks down to death

And her tracks lead to the dead;

19 None who go to her return again,

Nor do they reach the paths of life.
