16 Wisdom shall deliver you from a strange woman who flatters with 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 Who has forsaken the mother of her youth and 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 she has forgotten the threshold of her house and the way of her paths. 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 who go to her return again, neither do they remember the path 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 you must walk in the way of good men and keep the path 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 shall dwell in the land, and those who are unblemished shall 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 shall be cut off from the earth and the ungodly shall be 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.
