New Testament

Proverbs 2:13-22 Good News Bible (GNB)

13. those who have abandoned a righteous life to live in the darkness of sin,

14. those who find pleasure in doing wrong and who enjoy senseless evil,

15. unreliable people who cannot be trusted.

16. You will be able to resist any immoral woman who tries to seduce you with her smooth talk,

17. who is faithless to her own husband and forgets her sacred vows.

18. If you go to her house, you are travelling the road to death. To go there is to approach the world of the dead.

19. No one who visits her ever comes back. He never returns to the road to life.

20. So you must follow the example of good people and live a righteous life.

21. Righteous people — people of integrity — will live in this land of ours.

22. But God will snatch the wicked from the land and pull sinners out of it like plants from the ground.
