13. From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness;
14. Who delight in doing evil And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
15. Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious in their ways;
16. To deliver you from the strange woman, From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
17. That leaves the companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God;
18. For her house sinks down to death And her tracks lead to the dead;
19. None who go to her return again, Nor do they reach the paths of life.
20. So you will walk in the way of good men And keep to the paths of the righteous.
21. For the upright will live in the land And the blameless will remain in it;
