10. For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11. Discretion will guard you, Understanding will watch over you,
12. To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things;
13. From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness;
14. Who delight in doing evil And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
15. Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious in their ways;
16. To deliver you from the strange woman, From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
17. That leaves the companion of her youth And forgets the covenant of her God;
18. For her house sinks down to death And her tracks lead to the dead;
