Proverbs 2:18 in Context — Proverbs 2

16 Pour te délivrer de la femme étrangère, De l’étrangère qui emploie des paroles doucereuses,

17 Qui abandonne l’ami de sa jeunesse, Et qui oublie l’alliance de son Dieu;

18 Car sa maison penche vers la mort, Et sa route mène chez les morts:

19 Aucun de ceux qui vont à elle ne revient, Et ne retrouve les sentiers de la vie.

20 Tu marcheras ainsi dans la voie des gens de bien, Tu garderas les sentiers des justes.
