Proverbs

¹²These will keep you from following the wrong path and will protect you from those who have evil plans. ¹³Such people have left the straight path and now walk in darkness. ¹⁴They enjoy doing evil and are happy with the confusion it brings. ¹⁵Their ways are crooked; they lie and cheat. ¹⁶Wisdom will save you from that other woman, another man’s wife, who tempts you with sweet words. ¹⁷She married when she was young, but then she left her husband. She forgot the marriage vows she made before God. ¹⁸Going into her house leads to death. She will lead you to the grave.
