Proverbs 2:18 in Context — Proverbs 2

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.

20 Para que andes por el camino de los buenos, y guardes las veredas de los justos.
