10 For wisdom would enter your heart, And knowledge be pleasant to your being,
11 Discretion would guard you; Understanding would watch over you,
12 To deliver you from the evil way, From the man who speaks perversities,
13 Those who leave the paths of straightness To walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil; They delight in the perversities of evil;
15 Whose paths are crooked, And they are perverted in their ways;
16 To deliver you from the strange woman, From the foreigner who flatters with her words,
