- 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;
|
- 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.
