Proverbs 2:16-22

16To keep you from the immoral woman; From the seductress with her flattering words,

17Who leaves the companion (husband) of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God.

18For her house leads down to death And her paths lead to the dead;

19None who go to her return again, Nor do they regain the paths of life—

20So you will walk in the way of good men [that is, those of personal integrity, moral courage and honorable character], And keep to the paths of the righteous.

21For the upright [those who are in right standing with God] will live in the land And those [of integrity] who are blameless [in God’s sight] will remain in it;

22But the wicked will be cut off from the land And the treacherous shall be [forcibly] uprooted and removed from it.
