Proverbs 2:11-16

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,
