12It will deliver thee from the way of the wicked, From the men who speak perverse things;
13Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;
14Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perverseness of the wicked;
15Whose paths are crooked, And who are froward in their ways.
16It will deliver thee from the wife of another, From the stranger, who useth smooth words;
17Who forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18For her house sinketh down to Death, And her paths to the shades of the dead:
19None that go to her return again; They will not attain the paths of life.
20Therefore walk thou in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous:
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, And the righteous shall remain in it;
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
