16That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:


In Context

13 Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:

14 Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:

15 Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.

16 That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:

17 And forsaketh the guide of her youth,

18 And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.
