13	הַ֭עֹ֣זְבִים אָרְח֣וֹת יֹ֑שֶׁר לָ֝לֶ֗כֶת בְּדַרְכֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃	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	הַ֭שְּׂמֵחִים לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת רָ֑ע יָ֝גִ֗ילוּ בְּֽתַהְפֻּכ֥וֹת רָֽע׃	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	אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָרְחֹתֵיהֶ֣ם עִקְּשִׁ֑ים וּ֝נְלוֹזִ֗ים בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתָֽם׃	men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.	whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
16	לְ֭הַצִּ֣ילְךָ מֵאִשָּׁ֣ה זָרָ֑ה מִ֝נָּכְרִיָּ֗ה אֲמָרֶ֥יהָ הֶחֱלִֽיקָה׃	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	הַ֭עֹזֶבֶת אַלּ֣וּף נְעוּרֶ֑יהָ וְאֶת־ בְּרִ֖ית אֱלֹהֶ֣יהָ שָׁכֵֽחָה׃	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	כִּ֤י שָׁ֣חָה אֶל־ מָ֣וֶת בֵּיתָ֑הּ וְאֶל־ רְ֝פָאִ֗ים מַעְגְּלֹתֶֽיהָ׃	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	כָּל־ בָּ֭אֶיהָ לֹ֣א יְשׁוּב֑וּן וְלֹֽא־ יַ֝שִּׂ֗יגוּ אָרְח֥וֹת חַיִּֽים׃	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	לְמַ֗עַן תֵּ֭לֵךְ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ טוֹבִ֑ים וְאָרְח֖וֹת צַדִּיקִ֣ים תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃	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	כִּֽי־ יְשָׁרִ֥ים יִשְׁכְּנוּ‪‬‪‬ אָ֑רֶץ וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים יִוָּ֥תְרוּ בָֽהּ׃	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	וּ֭רְשָׁעִים מֵאֶ֣רֶץ יִכָּרֵ֑תוּ וּ֝בוֹגְדִ֗ים יִסְּח֥וּ מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ פ	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.
