	CSB Christian Standard Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
13	from those who abandon the right paths to walk in ways of darkness,	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	from those who enjoy doing evil and celebrate perversion,	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 paths are crooked, and whose ways are devious.	men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.	whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
16	It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,	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	who abandons the companion of her youth and forgets 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 ways to the land of the departed spirits.	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	None return who go to her; none 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 follow the way of the good, and keep to the paths 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 upright will inhabit the land, and those of integrity 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	but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous ripped 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.
