Proverbs 2 Part 2/2

13
who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
**These are the people who freely leave the way in which they know is right, satisfying and full of hope and richness of the soul and they exchange it for temporary gratification that is meaningless, tiresome and full of darkness
14
who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
**they get so stuck that they end up rejoicing in the darkness and dancing in despair until the cloud gets darker and darker and the black hole that sucks them deeper into the abyss leading to greater perverseness
15
whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

**their paths become crooked, they no longer seek the way back. They muddle in deception with others while allowing themselves to also be self deceived
16
It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words,

**The Lords path which is Him protects and saves from the wayward individuals who bring down a people with their seductive words. sounding sweet in the beginning but like the opposite of a sour patch kid they lastly turn sour and bitter and leave you with a venomous bite
17
who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.
18
For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19
None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.

**Their way is destruction and those who fall into this temptation never attain the path of life. If caught here may life (Jesus) pursue you and bring you back out from the pool of despondency
20
Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.

**For keeping away from such individuals you will find and walk in the ways of similar people who have chosen to follow and be led by the Lord. Free. Hopeful. Healed. Saved. Filled with Wisdom. Knowledge. And having a Purpose
21
For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;

**Those who follow will live in this fruitful land even when the rest seems dark. They will be the light that shines upon the darkness of the world
22
but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

**But the wicked, those who do not choose to follow the Lord will be cut off from this beautiful land. Beautiful wisdom. Clarity. Hope. Healing. Love etc..
So seek the Lord. Hunger for wisdom. Knowledge. insight.
