menu_book Verse in Context

14 who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil,

15 who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,

16 to deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,

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

18 for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.
