Proverbs 11:5-6

The righteousness of the blameless will smooth their way and keep it straight, but the wicked will fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright will rescue them, but the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.

The righteous do not listen to the devil’s voice leading them into sin. The devil will talk to all of us, but we have the choice to accept or reject the advice. If what we hear does not line up with the word of God, we will stay on the smooth path. Our lives get bumpy and off-road when we choose to follow the thoughts and actions that lead to sin.
