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;
19. none who go to her come back,nor do they regain the paths of life.
20. So you will walk in the way of the goodand keep to the paths of the righteous.
21. For the upright will inhabit the land,and those with integrity will remain in it,
22. but the wicked will be cut off from the land,and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
