Thought 185
Wisdom
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 leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in
doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways. It will save you also from the adulteress,
from the wayward wife with her seductive words, who has left the partner
of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits
of the dead. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life. Proverbs
2:11-19 (NIV1984)
