10For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will delight your soul.
11Discretion will watch over you,
and understanding will guard you,
12to deliver you from the way of evil,
from the man who speaks perversity,
13from those who leave the straight paths
to walk in the ways of darkness,
14from those who enjoy doing evil
and rejoice in the twistedness of evil,
15whose paths are crooked
and whose ways are devious.
16It will rescue you from the forbidden woman,
from the stranger with seductive words
17who abandons the partner of her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God.
18For her house sinks down to death,
and her tracks to the departed spirits.
— Proverbs 2:10-18
