Proverbs 2:15-22

15 Traveling paths that go nowhere, wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.

15 whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

16 Wise friends will rescue you from the Temptress - that smooth-talking Seductress

16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words,

17 Who's faithless to the husband she married years ago, never gave a second thought to her promises before God.

17 who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.

18 Her whole way of life is doomed; every step she takes brings her closer to hell.

18 Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

19 No one who joins her company ever comes back, ever sets foot on the path to real living.

19 None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.

20 So - join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried and true paths.

20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with integrity who will last here.

21 For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;

22 The corrupt will lose their lives; the dishonest will be gone for good.

22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
