Proverbs 2:18–22

18 Surely her house leads down to death

and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

19 None who go to her return

or attain the paths of life.

20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good

and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright will live in the land,

and the blameless will remain in it;

22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,

and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

18 for her house sinks down to death,

and her paths to the departed;

19 none who go to her come back,

nor do they regain the paths of life.

20 So you will walk in the way of the good

and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright will inhabit the land,

and those with integrity will remain in it,

22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,

and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.

18 For her house inclineth unto death,

And her paths unto the dead.

19 None that go unto her return again,

Neither take they hold of 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 earth,

And the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

18 For her house leads down to death,

And her paths to the dead;

19 None who go to her return,

Nor do they 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 land,

And the blameless will remain in it;

22 But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,

And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.

18 Her house is on the way to death;

those who took that path are now all dead.

19 No one who goes to her comes back

or walks the path of life again.

20 But wisdom will help you be good

and do what is right.

21 Those who are honest will live in the land,

and those who are innocent will remain in it.

22 But the wicked will be removed from the land,

and the unfaithful will be thrown out of it.

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 the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.

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 to the paths of life: 20 —that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, 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 the unfaithful shall be plucked up out of it.

18 Her house sinks down to death. 

Her ways lead to the souls of the dead. 

19 None who have sex with her come back. 

Nor do they ever reach the paths of life. 

20 So walk in the way of good people 

and stay on the paths of righteous people. 

21 Decent people will live in the land. 

People of integrity will remain in it. 

22 But wicked people will be cut off from the land 

and treacherous people will be tornfrom it. 

18 for her house sinks down to death

and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.

19 None return who go to her;

none reach the paths of life.

20 So follow the way of good people,

and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright will inhabit the land,

and those of integrity will remain in it;

22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,

and the treacherous uprooted from it.

18 for her way leads down to death

and her paths to the shades;

19 those who go to her never come back,

nor do they regain the paths of life.

20 Therefore walk in the way of the good,

and keep to the paths of the just.

21 For the upright will abide in the land,

and the innocent will remain in it,

22 but the wicked will be cut off from the earth,

and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.

18 for her house sinks to death,

and to the dead are her paths.

19 Of all who go to her, none shall return,

nor do they reach paths of life.

20 So that you will walk on the road of those who are good,

and the paths of those who are righteous you shall keep.

21 For those who are upright will dwell in the land,

and those who are blameless will remain in it.

22 And those who are wicked will be cut off from the land,

and those who are treacherous will be uprooted from it.

18 Her house leads down to death.

Her paths lead to the spirits of the dead.

19 No one who goes to her comes back

or reaches the paths of life.

20 You will walk in the ways of good people.

You will follow the paths of those who do right.

21 Honest people will live in the land.

Those who are without blame will remain in it.

22 But sinners will be cut off from the land.

Those who aren’t faithful will be torn away from it.

18 For her house sinks down to death

And her tracks lead to the dead;

19 None who go to her return again,

Nor do they reach the paths of life.

20 So you will walk in the way of good men

And keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright will live in the land

And the blameless will remain in it;

22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land

And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
