8. He keeps the paths of justice, and preserves the way of his saints.
9. Then shall you understand righteousness, and justice, and equity; yea, every good path.
10. When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul;
11. Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you:
12. To deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks perverse things;
13. Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14. Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of the wicked;
15. Whose ways are crooked, and who are perverse in their paths:
16. To deliver you from the immoral woman, even from the seductress who flatters with her words;
17. Who forsakes the companion of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God.
