12. to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things;
13. who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14. who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil;
15. who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths:
16. To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;
17. who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God:
18. for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.
19. None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
20. that you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
