Read in context

Proverbs 2:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 For her house sinks down to death, and her tracks to the departed spirits.

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

20 So you will follow in the ways of the good, and keep to the paths of the righteous.

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

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