## Proverbs 2:11-12 in Context (Verses 8–15 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/8) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/9) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; *yea*, every good path.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/10) ¶ When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/11) Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/12) To deliver thee from the way of the evil *man*, from the man that speaketh froward things;
 
 [13 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/13) Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
 
 [14 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/14) Who rejoice to do evil, *and* delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
 
 [15 ](/kjv/proverbs/2/15) Whose ways *are* crooked, and *they* froward in their paths:
