Proverbs 2:5-20
5then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God.
6For the LORD gives wisdom;from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.7He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;He is a shield to those who walk with integrity,8to guard the paths of justiceand protect the way of His saints.
9Then you will discern righteousnessand justice and equity—every good path.10For wisdom will enter your heart,and knowledge will delight your soul.11Discretion will watch over you,and understanding will guard you,12to deliver you from the way of evil,from the man who speaks perversity,13from those who leave the straight pathsto walk in the ways of darkness,14from those who enjoy doing eviland rejoice in the twistedness of evil,15whose paths are crookedand whose ways are devious.
16It will rescue you from the forbidden woman,1from the stranger2 with seductive words17who abandons the partner of her youthand forgets the covenant of her God.18For her house sinks down to death,and her tracks to the departed spirits.319None who go to her returnor negotiate the paths of life.
20So you will follow in the ways of the good,and keep to the paths of the righteous.
