16 It will deliver you from a strange woman, from a foreign woman having made smooth her words, 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 the one having forsaken the guide of her youth, and she has forgotten the covenant 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 sinks down to death, and her paths to the Rephaim. 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 Of all those coming to her, none will return, nor will they reach the paths of life. 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 So you must walk in the way of the good ones, and guard the paths of the righteous ones. 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 upright will dwell in the land, and the blameless ones will remain 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 And the wicked will be cut off from the earth, and treacherous ones will be plucked out from 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.
