Verse 18 is found in chapter 2 of Proverbs. When wisdom enters the heart, it protects against two distinct threats: wicked men and the forbidden woman who forsakes the covenant of her youth. The contrast shows that discernment protects both from public violence and intimate unfaithfulness. The section ends by contrasting two paths: those who walk uprightly remain in the land, while the wicked are ultimately uprooted from it.

(denn ihr Haus neigt sich zum Tod und ihre Gänge zu den Verlorenen;
Por lo cual su casa está inclinada a la muerte, Y sus veredas hacia los muertos:
Car sa maison penche vers la mort, Et sa route mène chez les morts:
Conciossiachè la casa di essa dichini alla morte, Ed i suoi sentieri a’ morti.
Porque a sua casa se inclina para a morte, e as suas veredas para os mortos.
她的家陷入死亡, 她的路偏向陰魂。
