12. To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,
13. Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,
14. Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,
15. Whose paths [are] crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways.
16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,
17. Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.
18. For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.
19. None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life.
20. That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep.
21. For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it,
22. And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous dealers plucked out of it!
