16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings, 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 is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten. 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 her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim 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 going in unto her turn back, Nor do they 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 That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep. 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 do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left 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 And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous dealers plucked 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.
