Proverb:2:11: Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
Proverb:2:12: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
Proverb:2:13: Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
Proverb:2:14: Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
Proverb:2:15: Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
Proverb:2:16: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Proverb:2:17: Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
Proverb:2:18: For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
Proverb:2:19: None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
Proverb:2:20: That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
Proverb:2:21: For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
Proverb:2:22: But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
