Proverbs 2:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perversity,

13 from those who leave the straight paths to walk in the ways of darkness,

15 whose paths are crooked and whose ways are devious.

16 It will rescue you from the forbidden woman, from the stranger with seductive words
