16 You will be saved from the loose[a] woman,
    from the adventuress[b] with her smooth words,
17 who forsakes the companion of her youth
    and forgets the covenant of her God;
18 for her house sinks down to death,
    and her paths to the shades;
19 none who go to her come back
    nor do they regain the paths of life.

20 So you will walk in the way of good men
    and keep to the paths of the righteous.
