Proverbs 2:11–13

discretion will watch over you,

understanding will guard you,

delivering you from the way of evil,

from men of perverted speech,

who forsake the paths of uprightness

to walk in the ways of darkness,

Discretion will protect you,

and understanding will guard you.

Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,

from men whose words are perverse,

who have left the straight paths

to walk in dark ways,

Discretion will watch over you,

and understanding will guard you.

It will rescue you from the way of evil—

from anyone who says perverse things,

from those who abandon the right paths

to walk in ways of darkness,

Discretion will watch over you;

understanding will protect you,

in order to deliver you from the way of evil,

from a man who speaks devious things—

those who forsake the paths of uprightness

to walk in ways of darkness,

Discretion shall preserve thee,

Understanding shall keep thee:

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,

From the man that speaketh froward things;

Who leave the paths of uprightness,

To walk in the ways of darkness;
