Those [who] leave paths of uprightness to walk in [the] ways of darkness.
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of the wicked;

15 Whose ways are crooked, and they perverted in their paths:
Who paths their [are] twisted and [who are] crooked in tracks their.
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
To deliver you from a woman strange from a foreign [woman] [who] words her she makes smooth.
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
For she sank down to death house her and to [the] shades tracks her.
19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
All [those who] go to her not they return! and not they reach [the] paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
So that you may walk in [the] way of good [people] and [the] paths of righteous [people] you will keep.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
For upright [people] (they will dwell *L(bah)*) [the] land and blameless [people] they will remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
And wicked [people] from [the] land they will be cut off and treacherous [people] they will be torn away from it.
