New King James Version

Proverbs 2:11-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. Discretion will preserve you;Understanding will keep you,

12. To deliver you from the way of evil,From the man who speaks perverse things,

13. From those who leave the paths of uprightnessTo walk in the ways of darkness;

14. Who rejoice in doing evil,And delight in the perversity of the wicked;

15. Whose ways are crooked,And who are devious in their paths;

16. To deliver you from the immoral woman,From the seductress who flatters with her words,
