Proverbs 2:10-20
Legacy Standard Bible
10 For (A)wisdom will enter your heart
And (B)knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 Discretion will (C)keep you,
Discernment will guard you,
12 To (D)deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks (E)perverse things;
13 From those who (F)forsake the paths of uprightness
To walk in the (G)ways of darkness;
14 Who are (H)glad to do evil
And they rejoice in the perversity of evil;
15 Whose paths are (I)crooked,
And who are devious in their tracks;
16 To deliver you from the [a](J)strange woman,
From the [b](K)foreign woman who flatters with her words;
17 Who forsakes the close (L)companion of her youth
And forgets the (M)covenant of her God;
18 For (N)her house [c]sinks down to death
And her tracks descend to the [d]dead;
19 All (O)who go to her will not return,
And they will not reach the (P)paths of life.
20 So that you will (Q)walk in the way of good men
And keep to the (R)paths of the righteous.

Proverbs 2:10-20
American Standard Version
10 For wisdom shall enter into thy heart,
And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall watch over thee;
Understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of [a]evil,
From the men that speak perverse things;
13 Who forsake the paths of uprightness,
To walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil,
And delight in the perverseness of [b]evil;
15 Who are crooked in their ways,
And wayward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman,
Even from the foreigner that [c]flattereth with her words;
17 That forsaketh the [d]friend of her youth,
And forgetteth the covenant of her God:
18 For [e]her house inclineth unto death,
And her paths unto [f]the dead;
19 None that go unto her return again,
Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,
And keep the paths of the righteous.
