Proverbs 2:16-22

New Living Translation

¹⁶ Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman,
    from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.
¹⁷ She has abandoned her husband
    and ignores the covenant she made before God.
¹⁸ Entering her house leads to death;
    it is the road to the grave.^[a]
19 The man who visits her is doomed.
    He will never reach the paths of life.

²⁰ So follow the steps of the good,
    and stay on the paths of the righteous.
²¹ For only the godly will live in the land,
    and those with integrity will remain in it.
²² But the wicked will be removed from the land,
    and the treacherous will be uprooted.
