10If wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge please thy soul:
11Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,
12That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:
13Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:
14Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:
15Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.
16That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:
17And forsaketh the guide of her youth,
18And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.
19None that go in unto her shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life,
