Proverbs 2:21
Verse 21 of 22. The 2nd of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.
17who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God;
18for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.
19None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life.
20Therefore walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.
22But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
