16 To deliver you from the strange woman, || From the stranger who has made her sayings smooth, 17 Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, || And has forgotten the covenant of her God. 18 For her house has inclined to death, || And her paths to Rephaim. 19 None going in to her return, || Nor do they reach the paths of life. 20 That you go in the way of the good, || And keep the paths of the righteous. 21 For the upright inhabit the earth, || And the perfect are left in it, 22 And the wicked are cut off from the earth, || And treacherous dealers plucked out of it!
