Proverbs 2:10-19

10Wisdom will come into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11Foresight will protect you. Understanding will guard you.

12⌞Wisdom will⌟ save you from the way of evil, from the person who speaks devious things,

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

14from those who enjoy doing evil, from those who find joy in the deviousness of evil.

15Their paths are crooked. Their ways are devious.

16⌞Wisdom will⌟ also save you from an adulterous woman, from a loose woman with her smooth talk,

17who leaves ⌞her husband,⌟ the closest friend of her youth, and forgets her marriage vows to her God.

18Her house sinks down to death. Her ways lead to the souls of the dead.

19None who have sex with her come back. Nor do they ever reach the paths of life.
