13 Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways: 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 Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things: 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 ways are perverse, and their steps infamous. 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 mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth 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 And forsaketh 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 hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to 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 None that go in unto her shall return again, neither shall 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 That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the 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 they that are upright shall dwell in the earth, and the simple shall continue 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 shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do 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.
