Proverbs 2:5-20

5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a shield to them that walk uprightly. 8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; and, every good path.

10When wisdom entereth into thy heart, and knowledge is pleasant to thy soul; 11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh perverse things; 13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of the wicked; 15Whose ways are crooked, and they are perverse in their paths: 16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the adulteress who flattereth with her words; 17Who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. 18For her house inclineth to death, and her paths to the dead. 19None that go to her return again, neither do they take hold of the paths of life. 20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
