⁶ She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it.

²⁶ Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.

¹¹ You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

⁵⁹ I considered my ways, And turned my steps to your statutes.

²¹ For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yahweh. He examines all his paths.

¹² A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he who walks with a perverse mouth;

¹³ Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who motions with his fingers;

¹⁰ Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, And with crafty intent.

¹¹ She is loud and defiant. Her feet don't stay in her house.

¹² Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, And lurking at every corner.

¹³ So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:

¹⁴ "Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me. This day I have paid my vows.

¹⁵ Therefore I came out to meet you, To diligently seek your face, And I have found you.

¹⁶ I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.

¹⁷ I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

¹⁸ Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning. Let's solace ourselves with loving.

¹⁹ For my husband isn't at home. He has gone on a long journey.

²⁰ He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon."

²¹ With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.

¹⁹ He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.

²⁰ So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'

⁹ even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰ and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
