Proverbs 2:10-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 prudence will watch over you,
and understanding will guard you.
12 It will save you from the way of evil,
from those who speak perversely,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to walk in the ways of darkness,(A)
14 who rejoice in doing evil
and delight in the perverseness of evil,(B)
15 those whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.(C)
16 You will be saved from the loose woman,[a]
from the adulteress[b] with her smooth words,(D)
17 who forsakes the partner of her youth
and forgets her sacred covenant,
18 for her way[c] leads down to death
and her paths to the shades;(E)
19 those who go to her never come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 Therefore walk in the way of the good,
and keep to the paths of the just.
Proverbs 2:10-20
Lexham English Bible
10 for wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul.[a]
11 Discretion will watch over you;
understanding will protect you,
12 in order to deliver you from the way of evil,[b]
from a man who speaks devious things—
13 those who forsake the paths of uprightness
to walk in ways of darkness,
14 those who are happy to do evil,
for they delight in the deviousness of evil,
15 who are crooked in their ways,[c]
and devious in their paths;
16 in order to deliver you from a strange woman,
from a foreign woman who flatters[d] with her sayings,
17 she who forsakes the partner of her youth
and has forgotten the covenant of her God,
18 for her house sinks to death,
and to the dead[e] are her paths.
19 Of all who go to her, none shall return,
nor do they reach paths of life.
20 So that you will walk on the road of those who are good,
and the paths of those who are righteous you shall keep.
