Proverbs 2:10-16

10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 (A)discretion will (B)watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to (C)walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who (D)rejoice in doing evil
and (E)delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose (F)paths are crooked,
(G)and who are (H)devious in their ways.
16 So (I)you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman,
from (J)the adulteress[b] with (K)her smooth words,

False Prophets and Teachers
2 But (A)false prophets also arose among the people, (B)just as there will be false teachers among you, who will (C)secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master (D)who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth (E)will be blasphemed. 3 And (F)in their greed they will exploit you (G)with false words.

Matthew 15:5-14

8 (C)“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as (D)doctrines the commandments of men.’”

20 And as they sat at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back. 21 And he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not kept the command that the Lord your God commanded you, 22 but have come back and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread and drink no water,” your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
