Proverbs 2:14-20

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,

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

¹⁸For she has fixed her house near death, And guided her wheels near Hades with the giants.

¹⁹None that go by her shall return, Neither shall they take hold of right paths, For they are not apprehended of the years of life.

²⁰For had they gone in good paths, They would have found the paths of righteousness easy.
