Proverbs 2:9-19

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.

10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,

13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

13 who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways,

14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

14 who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,

15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

15 whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words,

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

17 who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

18 Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

19 None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
