11. discretion shall keep thee, understanding shall preserve thee:
12. To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13. from those who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14. who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;
15. whose paths are crooked, and who are perverted in their course:
16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
17. who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God
18. --for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;
19. none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
20. --that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, and keep the paths of the righteous.
