16To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
17who 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;
19none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
20— that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it;
22but the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful shall be plucked up out of it.
