The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Per semitam vitæ non ambulant ; vagi sunt gressus ejus et investigabiles.
Septuagint (Swete)
ὁδοὺς γὰρ ζωῆς οὐκ ἐπέρχεται, σφαλεραὶ δὲ αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ εὔγνωστοι.
Hebrew (WLC)
אֹ֣רַח חַ֭יִּים פֶּן תְּפַלֵּ֑ס נָע֥וּ מַ֝עְגְּלֹתֶ֗יהָ לֹ֣א תֵדָֽע

Haydock's commentary

They. Hebrew, "if perhaps thou ponder the path of life." (Pagnin) (Haydock)

Or "she ponders not," &c. She walks inconsiderately, and consults only her passions, chap. vii. 10. (Calmet)

No one can depend on her love. (Menochius)
