13 From such as leaue the wayes of righteousnesse, to walke in the wayes of darknesse: who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
14 Which reioyce in doyng naught, and delite in the wickednesse of the euyll: who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 Whose wayes are croked, and they frowarde in their pathes. men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
16 That thou mayest be deliuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne, which geueth sweete wordes, So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 Forsaketh the husbande of her youth, & forgetteth the couenaunt of her God. who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.
18 For her house is enclined vnto death, and her pathes vnto hell. for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed; Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, neither take they holde of the way of lyfe. none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
20 Therfore walke thou in the way of such as be vertuous, & kepe the pathes of the righteous. So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous. Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the iust shal dwell in the lande, and they that be perfect shall remayne in it. For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
22 But the vngodly shall be cut of from the earth: and the wicked doers shalbe rooted out of it. but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it. but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
