11Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
12to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things;
13who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil;
15who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths:
16To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;
17who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of her God:
18for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.
