Proverbs 2:22

20 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;

but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be uprooted.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
