13 From those who have left the straight pathsto walk in the ways of darkness,
14 Who delight in doing eviland celebrate perversity;
15 Whose ways are crooked,whose paths are devious;
16 Saving you from a stranger,from a foreign woman with her smooth words,
17 One who forsakes the companion of her youthand forgets the covenant of her God;
18 For her path sinks down to death,and her footsteps lead to the shades.
19 None who enter there come back,or gain the paths of life.
