2:12. That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:
2:13. Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:
2:14. Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in the most wicked things:
2:15. Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.
2:16. That thou mayst be delivered from the strange woman, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words;
2:17. And forsaketh the guide of her youth,
2:18. And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.
2:19. None that go in unto her, shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life.
2:20. That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of the just.
2:21. For they that are upright, shall dwell in the earth; and the simple shall continue in it.
