Proverbs 2:10-19

10For 1wisdom will enter your heart And 2knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;11Discretion will 3guard you, Understanding will watch over you,12To 4deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks 5perverse things;13From those who 6leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the 7ways of darkness;14Who 8delight in doing evil And rejoice in the perversity of evil;15Whose paths are 9crooked, And who are devious in their ways;16To 10deliver you from the strange woman, From the 11 12adulteress who flatters with her words;17That leaves the 13companion of her youth And forgets the 14covenant of her God;18For 15her house 16sinks down to death And her tracks lead to the 17dead;19None 18who go to her return again, Nor do they reach the 19paths of life.
