Berean Standard Bible

Proverbs 2:16-22

16It will rescue you from the forbidden woman,1 from the stranger2 with seductive words17who abandons the partner of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.18For her house sinks down to death, and her tracks to the departed spirits.319None who go to her return or negotiate the paths of life.

20So you will follow in the ways of the good,and keep to the paths of the righteous.21For the upright will inhabit the land,and the blameless will remain in it;22but the wicked will be cut off from the land,and the unfaithful will be uprooted.
