Proverbs 2:16-19

^{Tools
16}

To ^(A)deliver you from the strange woman,
From the ^(a)^(B)adulteress who flatters with her words;

^{Tools
17}

That leaves the ^(C)companion of her youth
And forgets the ^(D)covenant of her God;

^{Tools
18}

For ^(E)her house ^(b)sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the ^(c)dead;

^{Tools
19}

None ^(F)who go to her return again,
Nor do they reach the ^(G)paths of life.
