13. who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,
14. who rejoice to do evil and delight in wicked perversion,
15. whose ways are crooked, and they are crooked in their paths;
16. to deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger who flatters with her words,
17. who forsakes the prince of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.
18. Therefore her house inclines unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19. None that go unto her return again, neither do they take hold of the paths of life.
20. That thou may walk in the way of good men and keep the paths of the righteous.
21. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
