Proverbs 2:10-19

10for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

11discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,

12delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,

13who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

14who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil,

15men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

16So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,

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

18for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;

19none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.
