Proverbs 2:9-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹ Then you will understand righteousness and justice
    and equity, every good path;
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,
¹⁴ who rejoice in doing evil
    and delight in the perverseness of evil;
¹⁵ those whose paths are crooked,
    and who are devious in their ways.
