- From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness;
- Who delight in doing evil And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
- Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious in their ways;
- To deliver you from the strange woman, From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
- That leaves the companion of her youth And forgets 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.
