13. who forsake the paths of uprightnessto walk in the ways of darkness,
14. who rejoice in doing eviland delight in the perverseness of evil,
15. men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
16. So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman,from the adulteress with her smooth words,
17. who forsakes the companion of her youthand forgets the covenant of her God;
18. for her house sinks down to death,and her paths to the departed;
