Proverbs 2:17 in Context — Proverbs 2

15 Cujas veredas são distorcidas, e desviadas em seus percursos.

16 - Para te livrar da mulher estranha, e da pervertida, [que] lisonjeia com suas palavras;

17 Que abandona o guia de sua juventude, e se esquece do pacto de seu Deus.

18 Porque sua casa se inclina para a morte, e seus caminhos para os mortos.

19 Todos os que entrarem a ela, não voltarão mais; e não alcançarão os caminhos da vida.
