Proverbs 2:14

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,

from those who enjoy doing evil and rejoice in the twistedness of evil,

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
