Proverbs 2:10-19

10For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight you.

11Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you.

12It will rescue you from the way of evil — from anyone who says perverse things,

13from those who abandon the right paths to walk in ways of darkness,

14from those who enjoy doing evil and celebrate perversion,

15whose paths are crooked, and whose ways are devious.

16It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,

17who abandons the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;

18for her house sinks down to death and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.

19None return who go to her; none reach the paths of life.
