9
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [yea], every good path.
10
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12
To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man], from the man that speaketh froward things;
13
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14
Who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15
Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their paths:
16
To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
17
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
