"then counsel must guard you, and prudence must serve you, "
— Proverbs 2:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:”
“Discretion shall watch over thee; Understanding shall keep thee: ”
“Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,”
“Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you,”
“Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,”
“Wise purposes will be watching over you, and knowledge will keep you;”
“Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:”
serving the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of sanctity.
Then you shall understand justice and judgment, and equity, and every good path.
If wisdom is to enter into your heart, and if knowledge is to become pleasing to your soul,
then counsel must guard you, and prudence must serve you,
so that you may be rescued from the evil way, and from the man who speaks perversities,
from those who leave the straight path to walk in dark ways,
who rejoice when they have done evil, and who exult in the most wicked things.
