Proverbs

¹⁴Who rejoice to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, ¹⁵Who are crooked in their ways, wayward and devious in their paths. ¹⁶[Discretion shall watch over you, understanding shall keep you] to deliver you from the alien woman, from the outsider with her flattering words, [Prov. 2:11.] ¹⁷Who forsakes the husband and guide of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God. ¹⁸For her house sinks down to death and her paths to the spirits [of the dead]. ¹⁹None who go to her return again, neither do they attain or regain the paths of life. ²⁰So may you walk in the way of good men, and keep to the paths of the [consistently] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God).
