Proverbs 2:13-17

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 you far from the straight way, and to estrange you from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake you,

¹⁷of her who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God.
