Proverbs 2:12-22 English Revised Version (ERV)

12. To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men that speak froward things;

13. Who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

14. Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;

15. Who are crooked in their ways, and perverse in their paths:

16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

17. Which forsaketh the friend of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God:

18. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead:

19. None that go unto her return again, neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

20. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

21. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

22. But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and they that deal treacherously shall be rooted out of it.
