Proverbs 2 starts with a father challenging his son to seek wisdom above all else so that you "find the knowledge of God." Solomon then states that wisdom, knowledge and understanding are God-given, and that God guarantees victory for the upright in heart, and God "is a shield to those whose walk is blameless." Solomon then says that when wisdom enters your heart it provides protection against "the ways of wicked men... and from men whose words are perverse." It will also protect you from the adulteress and the wayward wife. So Solomon concludes that "the upright will live in the land" whereas "the wicked will be cut off from the land".
