Proverbs 2:17
“Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.”
KJV
Read in Proverbs 2Meaning
The text explains why the seduction is morally serious: it involves betrayal, not mere difference or attraction.
Read carefully
The verse condemns betrayal; it does not require enduring abuse or remove the legitimacy of seeking safety.
Reflection
Take covenant, trust, and promises seriously.
