Proverbs 2

Solomon mentions two types of people who have abandoned righteous living. There are men who gain pleasure from practicing evil, and there are women who search after young men for casual physical intamacy. Both of these types have abandoned God's plan in order to satisfy their own selfish appitites. Solomon points out that the wisdom from God, which James says is available to all who ask, will provide protection from the traps set by these two types of people. That wisdom of God builds up our faith and helps us either avoid the attacks, flee from the temptations, or stand unmoving in a position of righteous obedience. That wisdom provides a power that we need and has its origins in God's heart.
