“When wisdom comes into your heart,
Then knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Prudence will watch over you.
Understanding will guard you.
It will save you
From the way of evil.
It will save you
From those who speak perversely.
It will save you
From those who forsake the paths of uprightness.
They walk in the ways of darkness.
They rejoice in doing evil.
They delight in the perverseness of evil.
Their paths are crooked.
They are devious in their ways.”
Things will go better for you if you have wisdom in your heart. Your soul will be pleased with its knowledge, prudence, and understanding. On the other hand, wisdom will save you from evil ways and perverse speech. It will help you keep on the straight and narrow. Wisdom will keep you away from those who walk in darkness or do perverse evil on crooked paths in their devious ways.
