10 “⁽¹⁾When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 

            ⁽¹⁾Proverbs 14:33, 22:18

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding ⁽²⁾shall keep thee:

            ⁽²⁾Proverbs 4:6, 6:22

12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward [perverse] things;

13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to ⁽³⁾walk in the ways of darkness;

            ⁽³⁾Proverbs 4:19, Psalm 82:5, John 3:19-20, Ephesians 4:18

14 ⁽⁴⁾Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness [perversity] of the wicked;

            ⁽⁴⁾Romans 1:32

15 ⁽⁵⁾Whose ways are crooked, and they froward [devious, deceitful] in their paths:

            ⁽⁵⁾Psalm 125:5

16 To deliver thee from ⁽⁶⁾the strange [immoral] woman, ⁽⁷⁾even from the stranger [adulteress] which flattereth with her words;

            ⁽⁶⁾Proverbs 5:3, 5:20, 6:24, 7:5; ⁽⁷⁾Proverbs 5:3

17 Which ⁽⁸⁾forsaketh the ⁽⁹⁾guide [companion, partner] of her youth, and forgetteth the ⁽¹⁰⁾covenant of her God.

            ⁽⁸⁾Malachi 2:14; ⁽⁹⁾Malachi 3:14-15; ⁽¹⁰⁾Genesis 2:24 

18 For ⁽¹¹⁾her house inclineth [sinks/leads down] unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

            ⁽¹¹⁾Proverbs 7:27

19 None ⁽¹²⁾that go unto her return again, neither take [do not regain] thy hold of the paths of life.

            ⁽¹²⁾Ecclesiastes 7:26, Hebrews 13:4

20 That thou ⁽¹³⁾mayest walk in the way of good men [goodness], and keep the ⁽¹⁴⁾paths of the righteous [righteousness].

            ⁽¹³⁾Hebrews 6:12; ⁽¹⁴⁾Proverbs 4:18

21 For the upright shall dwell in the ⁽¹⁵⁾land, and the perfect [blameless] shall remain in it.

            ⁽¹⁵⁾Psalm 37:3

22 But the wicked shall be cut off [destroyed] from the earth [land], and ⁽¹⁶⁾the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.”
