Proverbs 2:10 says, When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;  This can only happen after we acknowledge God.  Without acknowledging God, we can have no real wisdom.  Verse eleven states, Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:  Our discretion will be in choosing the path that God directs for us.  The understanding that God is in control will keep us under His direction.  Verse twelve says, To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;  This is still referring to being under the direction of God and being guided by the wisdom that can really only come from Him.  When we are, we will not be lead astray by evil people who teach things that are in opposition to God's word.  We can never compromise God's truth and successfully follow Him.  Verse thirteen says, Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;  Once more, we are told that we cannot deny the wisdom and teachings of God without leaving the path of uprightness, or righteousness.  We can either walk following the path that God sets for us, or we can stray away into the path of the unrighteous.  Verse fourteen continues, Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;  We know that there are people today who delight in denying God.  We also know that there are those who seem to delight in doing evil.  We also know that those who deny God and live by the power of evil seem to delight in getting others to follow them.  I believe this is especially true of those who deny that God is the Creator of the world.  Verse fifteen states, Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: This is still a continuation of the description of those who will not accept the wisdom of God.  When a person denies God, everything they do is crooked in the eyes of God, so the path that such a person followers has to be against what God teaches.  Verse sixteen says, To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;  This is a positive result of following the direction of God.  We will not give in to temptation, no matter how appealing it may appear to be, if we are living under the guidance and protection of God.  Verse seventeen states, Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.  This is in reference to a woman who would lead someone away from God by using sexual allure, but the warning could apply to anyone who would lead us astray from God's will for whatever reason.  Verse eighteen continues, For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.  As just stated, this refers to a woman leading a man into sexual misconduct, and the result of the auction leading to death.   Verse nineteen states, None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.  I believe that this is simply a reference to the power of sexual misconduct, or sin, in the life of a individual.  Matthew Henry says that is almost impossible to escape from such sinful actions.  Verse twenty states, That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.  This tells us if we want to walk in the way of good, or righteous men, then we will avoid these sexual temptations.  We hear so much about sexual misconduct conduct today, though it is usually about the man leading, or forcing, the women into the act.  Which ever one, man or woman, leads a person into such an act puts them in a dangerous situation spiritually.  Verse twenty-one says, For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.  This simply tells us that if we walk in God's path that we will remain in His kingdom, not simply by our actions but by our faith in God.  Verse twenty-two declares, But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.  This is the ultimate outcome for those who will not follow God and accept the salvation that Christ makes available.  Even if they live rich and prosperous lives, they will ultimately be cut off from the kingdom of God.
