Proverbs 2:19

The Benefits Of Wisdom

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.

Way of Life

Ecclesiastes 7:26

And I discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

Psalm 81:12

“So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart,
To walk in their own devices.

Proverbs 4:18

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.

Jeremiah 13:23

“Can the Ethiopian change his skin
Or the leopard his spots?
Then you also can do good
Who are accustomed to doing evil.

Hosea 4:14

I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined.

Matthew 19:24-26

Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Hebrews 6:18

so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.
