12 to deliver you from the way of evil, from those speaking perverse things,
13 who leave the straight paths to walk in ways of darkness,
14 who rejoice in doing wrong and delight in the perversity of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked and are devious in their ways—
16 to deliver you from a seducing woman— a wayward wife with seductive words,
17 who forsakes the partner of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.
18 For her house sinks down to death and her tracks to the dead.
