\q
|
|
\v 3 If you cry out for understanding
|
|
\q and raise your voice for it,
|
|
\q
|

|
|
\q
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
\q and her tracks will lead you to those in the grave.
|
|

|
|
\v 19 All who go in to her will not return again
|
|
\q and they will not find the paths of life.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|

|
|
\q and follow the paths of righteous people.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 For those doing right will make a home in the land,
|
|
\q and those with integrity will remain in it.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land,
|
|
\q and the faithless will be cut off from it.
