16To deliver you from the strange woman,
         From the adulteress who flatters with her words;

17That leaves the companion of her youth
         And forgets the covenant of her God;

18For her house sinks down to death
         And her tracks lead to the dead;

19None who go to her return again,
         Nor do they reach the paths of life.

20So you will walk in the way of good men
         And keep to the paths of the righteous.

21For the upright will live in the land
         And the blameless will remain in it;

22But the wicked will be cut off from the land
         And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
