12 To save thee from the derech rah, from the ish medaber tahpukhot (man speaking perverse things);
13 Who leaving the orkhot yosher (paths of uprightness), walk in the drakhei choshech (ways of darkness);
14 Who rejoice to do rah, and delight in the tahpukhot (perverse things) of rah (evil);
15 Whose orkhot (paths) are crooked ones, and they are devious in their ma'agalot (paths);
16 To save thee from the isha zarah (strange woman), even from the nokhriyah (strange [immoral] woman) which useth smooth words;
17 Which forsaketh the alluf (companion, husband) of her youth, and forgetteth the brit (covenant) of her G-d.
18 For her bais inclineth toward mavet, and her ma'agalot (paths) to the refa'im (spirits of the dead).
