13 Who forsake the path of uprightness to walk in the way of darkness; 14 Who rejoice to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil things; 15 Men whose ways are crooked and whose paths are perverse. 16 Wisdom shall deliver you from a strange woman who flatters with her words, 17 Who has forsaken the mother of her youth and forgotten the covenant of her God. 18 For she has forgotten the threshold of her house and the way of her paths. 19 None who go to her return again, neither do they remember the path of life. 20 Therefore you must walk in the way of good men and keep the path of the righteous. 21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and those who are unblemished shall remain in it. 22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth and the ungodly shall be rooted out of it.
