	NLT New Living Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
18	Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave.	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	The man who visits her is doomed. He will never 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 steps of the good, and stay on 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 only the godly will live in the land, and those with 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 removed from the land, and the treacherous will be uprooted.	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.
