v9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair-every good path.
v10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
v11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
v12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,
v13 Who leave the straight paths to walk in dark was,
v14 who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
v15 whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
v9 We all know what is right, just, and fair. The Holy Spirit never hesitates to say "Whoa, do you really think you should be doing this?" We just drown out the sound of his admonition so that we might delight in whatever evil we plan. But since we understand it and we are trying to model ourselves on Jesus example, we should listen and obey, in all things.
v10 If we do follow Christ's path and allow the Holy Spirit to work within us. His wisdom and knowledge will also work within us and we will enjoy it instead of fight it.
v11 We will guard our tongues, minds and actions mindful of what fruit they show the world.
v12 Wisdom, God's wisdom, will spare us from foolish decisions and keep us off the path of unrighteousness. It will make the nastiness of the world and it's unholy display it offers it's inhabitants repulsive to us.
v13 Their lifestyles are so far off from God's desires and they seek to pervert things as often as they can.
