12. That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:
13. Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:
14. Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:
15. Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.
16. That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:
17. And forsaketh the guide of her youth,
18. And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.
