New Living Translation (NLT)
Proverbs 2
17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God.
18 Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave.
19 The man who visits her is doomed. He will never reach the paths of life.
20 Follow the steps of good men instead, and stay on the paths of the righteous.
21 For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it.
22 But the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be uprooted.
Proverbs 3
1 My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart.
2 If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying.
3 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.
4 Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
