- Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
- Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
- Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
- To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
- Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
|
- who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
- who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
- whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
- It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words,
- who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.
|
- For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
- None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
- That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
- For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
- But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
|
- For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
- None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
- Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
- For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
- but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
