Proverbs 2:1-22 GNT
[1] My child, learn what I teach you and never forget what I tell you to do. [2] Listen to what is wise and try to understand it. [3] Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for insight. [4] Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure. [5] If you do, you will know what it means to fear the Lord and you will succeed in learning about God. [6] It is the Lord who gives wisdom; from him come knowledge and understanding. [7] He provides help and protection for those who are righteous and honest. [8] He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to him. [9] If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and fair. You will know what you should do. [10] You will become wise, and your knowledge will give you pleasure. [11] Your insight and understanding will protect you [12] and prevent you from doing the wrong thing. They will keep you away from people who stir up trouble by what they say— [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 traveling 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 sn**ch the wicked from the land and pull sinners out of it like plants from the ground.
