Proverbs 2:11-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,

12. That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:

13. Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:

14. Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:

15. Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.

16. That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:

17. And forsaketh the guide of her youth,
