16 So may you be rescued from the foreign woman, and from the outsider, who softens her speech, 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 and who leaves behind the Guide of her youth, 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 and who has forgotten the covenant of her God. For her household inclines toward death, and her paths toward 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 those who enter to her will not return again, nor will they take hold of 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 may you walk in the good way, and keep to the difficult paths of the just. 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 those who are upright shall live upon the earth, and the simple shall continue upon 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 Yet truly, the impious shall perish from the earth, and those who act unjustly shall be taken away 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.
