9. Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.

10. When wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul,

11. discretion shall keep thee, understanding shall preserve thee:

12. To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;

14. who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;

15. whose paths are crooked, and who are perverted in their course:

16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;

17. who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God

18. --for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;

19. none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
