Proverbs 2:12-22 NIRV

Proverbs 2:12-22

Wisdom will save you from the ways of evil men.

It will save you from men who twist their words.

Men like that have left the straight paths

to walk in dark ways.

They take delight in doing what is wrong.

They take joy in twisting everything around.

Their paths are crooked.

Their ways are not straight.

Wisdom will save you from a woman who commits adultery.

It will save you from a sinful woman and her tempting words.

She has left the man she married when she was young.

She has broken the promise she made in front of God.

Surely her house leads down to death.

Her paths lead to the spirits of the dead.

No one who goes to her comes back

or reaches the paths of life.

You will walk in the ways of good people.

You will follow the paths of those who do right.

Honest people will live in the land.

Those who are without blame will remain in it.

But sinners will be cut off from the land.

Those who aren’t faithful will be torn away from it.
