16 And it shall deliuer thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her 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 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant 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 Surely her house tendeth to death, and her paths vnto the dead. 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 goe vnto her, returne not againe, neither take they holde of the wayes 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 Therefore walke thou in the way of good men, and keepe the wayes 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 land, and the vpright men shall remaine 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 shalbe cut off from ye earth, and the transgressours 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.
