Proverbs 2:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 2:10

Compare all

8 He guards the paths of justice,
And ^apreserves the way of His saints.

9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.

10 When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

11 Discretion will preserve you;
^aUnderstanding will keep you,

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

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

14 ^aWho rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;

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

16 To deliver you from ^athe immoral woman,
^bFrom the seductress who flatters with her words,

17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.

18 For ^aher house leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead;

19 None who go to her return,
Nor do they¹ regain the paths of life—

20 So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.

21 For the upright will dwell in the ^aland,
And the blameless will remain in it;

22 But the wicked will be¹ cut off from the earth,
And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
