11Good counsel shall guard thee, And holy understanding shall keep thee;
12To deliver thee from the evil way, And from the man that speaks nothing faithfully.
13Alas for those who forsake right paths, To walk in ways of darkness;
14Who rejoice in evils, And delight in wicked perverseness;
15Whose paths are crooked, And their courses winding;
16To remove thee far from the straight way, And to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee,
