12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, From the man that speaketh froward things;
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;
14Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15Whose ways are crooked, And they froward in their paths:
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead.
