16 Wisdom will save you from that other woman, another man’s wife, who tempts you with sweet words.
17 She married when she was young, but then she left her husband. She forgot the marriage vows she made before God.
18 Going into her house leads to death. She will lead you to the grave.
19 All who enter lose their life and never return.
20 Wisdom will help you follow the example of good people and stay on the right path.
21 Honest people will live in the land, and those who do right will remain there.
22 But the wicked will be forced to leave. Those who lie and cheat will be thrown out of the land.
