Proverbs 2:19

The Benefits Of Wisdom

¹⁸ For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits. ¹⁹ None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life. ²⁰ So you will walk in the way of good people, and will keep on the paths of the righteous.

Way of Life

Ecclesiastes 7:26

I discovered this: More bitter than death is the kind of woman who is like a hunter's snare; her heart is like a hunter's net and her hands are like prison chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is captured by her.

Psalm 81:12

I gave them over to their stubborn desires; they did what seemed right to them.

Proverbs 4:18

But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day.

Jeremiah 13:23

But there is little hope for you ever doing good, you who are so accustomed to doing evil. Can an Ethiopian change the color of his skin? Can a leopard remove its spots?

Hosea 4:14

I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men consort with harlots, they sacrifice with temple prostitutes. It is true: "A people that lacks understanding will come to ruin!"

Matthew 19:24-26

Again I say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God."

Hebrews 6:18

so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.
