Proverbs 2:11 Context

◄ Proverbs 2:11 ►

Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you,

Context

11Discretion will guard you,
Understanding will watch over you,

12To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things;

13From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;

14Who delight in doing evil
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;

15Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;

16To deliver you from the strange woman,
From the adulteress who flatters with her words;

17That leaves the companion of her youth
And forgets the covenant of her God;

18For her house sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the dead;

19None who go to her return again,
Nor do they reach the paths of life.

20So you will walk in the way of good men
And keep to the paths of the righteous.

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

22But the wicked will be cut off from the land
And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
