Proverbs 2:10 - 2:20

« Prov 1 | Prov 2 | Prov 3 »

10

For wisdom will enter your heart

And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

11

Discretion will keep you,

Discernment will guard you,

12

To deliver you from the way of evil,

From the man who speaks perverse things;

13

From those who forsake the paths of uprightness

To walk in the ways of darkness;

14

Who are glad to do evil

And they rejoice in the perversity of evil;

15

Whose paths are crooked,

And who are devious in their tracks;

16

To deliver you from the strange woman,

From the foreign woman who flatters with her words;

17

Who forsakes the close companion of her youth

And forgets the covenant of her God;

18

For her house sinks down to death

And her tracks descend to the dead;

19

All who go to her will not return,

And they will not reach the paths of life.

20

So that you will walk in the way of good men

And keep to the paths of the righteous.
