- 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 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.
|
- For her house sinks down to death And her tracks lead to the dead;
- None who go to her return again, Nor do they reach the paths of life.
- So you will walk in the way 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 treacherous will be uprooted from it.
|
- 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.
