12. Saving you from the way of the wicked,from those whose speech is perverse.
13. From those who have left the straight pathsto walk in the ways of darkness,
14. Who delight in doing eviland celebrate perversity;
15. Whose ways are crooked,whose paths are devious;
16. Saving you from a stranger,from a foreign woman with her smooth words,
17. One who forsakes the companion of her youthand forgets the covenant of her God;
18. For her path sinks down to death,and her footsteps lead to the shades.
