11 Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you, discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you, Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
12 to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity, delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,
13 who leave the upright paths to walk on the dark ways, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing evil, they rejoice in perverse evil; who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are morally crooked, and who are devious in their ways; men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
16 to deliver you from the adulteress, from the sexually loose woman who speaks flattering words; So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who leaves the husband from her younger days, and forgets her marriage covenant made before God. who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.
18 For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits. for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed; Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life. none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of good people, and will keep on the paths of the righteous. So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous. Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be torn away from it. but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it. but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
