Straying » Those that go astray
As the bird wandering from her nest, so is a man wandering from his place.
Thus said Jehovah to this people, Thus they loved to wander, they restrained not their feet, and Jehovah accepted them not; now will he remember their iniquity and he will review their sin.
I hated dividings, and I loved thy law. Thou my hiding and my shield: I hoped for thy word. Depart from me, ye doing evil, and I will watch the commands of my God. read more.
Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and thou wilt not make me ashamed of my hope. Support me and I shall be saved: and I shall look upon thy laws always Thou didst make light of all going astray from thy laws, for their deceit is falsehood.

A man wandering from the way of understanding shall rest in the convocation of the shades.
Straying » Who strays from the right path
And also were there false prophets among the people, as also among you shall be false teachers, who shall privately bring in doctrines of perdition, and denying the master having purchased them, having brought upon themselves swift destruction. (And many shall follow their licentiousness; by whom the way of truth shall be defamed.) And by covetousness with feigned words shall trade in you: to whom judgment since a long while is not inactive, and their perdition sleeps not. read more.
For if God spared not the angels having sinned, but delivered up, hurled into Tartarus, to cords of darkness, having been kept for judgment; And spared not the old world, but Noah the eighth, a herald of justice, he watched, having brought an inundation upon the world of the irreligious; And the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha having reduced to ashes, condemned with a catastrophe, a pattern set to them about to act irreligiously; And just Lot, being harassed by the licentiousness of the lawless for the turning back, he delivered: (For the just one in seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, from day to day tried the just soul with lawless works;) The Lord knows to deliver the religious out of temptation, and to keep the unjust restrained for the day of judgment; And chiefly them going after the flesh in eager desire of defilement, and despising dominion. Self-sufficient, rash men, they tremble not, defaming glories. Where angels, being greater in strength and power, bring not defaming judgment against them to the Lord. But these, as natural irrational living creatures, having been for catching and destroying, defaming in what things they are ignorant of; and shall be destroyed in their corruption; Receiving the reward of injustice, deeming luxurious indulgence pleasure in the day. Spots and blemishes, rioting in their deceits, feasting together with you Having eyes full of an adulteress, not ceasing from sin; decoying unstable souls: having a heart exercised with covetousness; children of a curse: Having forsaken the straight way, they were led astray, having followed in the way of Balaam son of Bosor, who loved the reward of injustice; And he had reprehension for his own iniquity: the dumb ass speaking in man's voice impeded the insanity of the prophet. These are fountains wanting water, clouds impelled by a hurricane; for whom the obscurity of darkness has been kept forever. For speaking excessive things of vanity, they decoy with the eager desires of the flesh, for licentiousness, them having truly escaped from those turned back in error. Promising them liberty, they being servants of corruption: for by whom any is conquered, by him has he been made to serve.

They were among the rebels of light; they knew not his ways, and they dwelt not in his beaten paths. The murderer will rise by light; he will kill the poor and needy; and in the night he will be as a thief. And the eye of the adulterer watched the twilight, saying, Eye shall not perceive me: and secretly he will set the face. read more.
To break through houses in darkness in the day they shut up for themselves: they knew not light For the morning altogether to them the shadow of death: if it shall be known, the terrors of the shadow of death. He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion will be cursed in the earth: he will not see the way of the vineyards.

Meditation shall watch over thee, understanding shall guard thee: To deliver thee from the evil way, from the man speaking deceit; Those forsaking the paths of straightness to go in the ways of darkness; read more.
Those rejoicing to do evil will exult in the deceit of evil; Whose paths are perverted, and in their tracks are bent aside: To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings; Forsaking the friend of her youth, and forgetting the covenant of her God. For her house sunk down to death, and her tracks to the shades. All going in it shall not turn back, and they shall not overtake the paths of life.

For before the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of man, and he makes level all his tracks. His iniquities shall take the unjust one, and with the cords of his sins shall he be held fast. He shall die in not being instructed, and he shall wander in the multitude of his folly.

He causing the upright to wander in an evil way, into his pit shall he fall: and the good shall inherit complete things.
