Proverbs 2:17 in Context — Proverbs 2

15 Cuyas veredas son torcidas, y torcidos sus caminos.

16 Para librarte de la mujer extraña, de la ajena que halaga con sus palabras;

17 Que desampara el príncipe de su mocedad, y se olvida del pacto de su Dios.

18 Por lo cual su casa está inclinada á la muerte, y sus veredas hacia los muertos:

19 Todos los que á ella entraren, no volverán, ni tomarán las veredas de la vida.
