Proverbs 2:20

¹⁸ For her house sinks down to death, and her tracks to the departed spirits.

¹⁹ None who go to her return or negotiate the paths of life.

So you will follow in the ways of the good, and keep to the paths of the righteous.

²¹ For the upright will inhabit 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 uprooted.
