11 Planning ahead will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
12 These will keep you from following the wrong path and will protect you from those who have evil plans.
13 Such people have left the straight path and now walk in darkness.
14 They enjoy doing evil and are happy with the confusion it brings.
15 Their ways are crooked; they lie and cheat.
16 Wisdom will save you from that other woman, another man’s wife, who tempts you with sweet words.
17 She married when she was young, but then she left her husband. She forgot the marriage vows she made before God.
