16To deliuer thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her words: 17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant of her God. 18For her house inclineth vnto death, and her pathes vnto the dead: 19None that goe vnto her, returne againe, neither take they hold of the pathes of life. 20That thou mayest walke in the way of good men, and keepe the pathes of the righteous.
