"from those who leave the straight path to walk in dark ways, "
— Proverbs 2:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;”
“Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness; ”
“who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;”
“who leave the upright paths to walk on the dark ways,”
“Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:”
“Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;”
“Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;”
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.
Their ways are perverse, and their steps are infamous.
So may you be rescued from the foreign woman, and from the outsider, who softens her speech,
