Wisdom will save you from the ways of evil men. It will save you from men who twist their words.

delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,

Wisdom will save you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted.

It will rescue you from the way of evil— from anyone who says perverse things,

To rescue you from the way of evil, From a person who speaks perverse things;

To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,

To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;

rescuing you from the way of evil— from the one who says perverse things,

To deliver thee from the way of the evil[ man], from the man that speaketh froward things;

to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity,

to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,

Do not be misled:“ Bad company corrupts good character.”

To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

Therefore,“ Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.

Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded.My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled.

A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.A violent person entices their neighbor and leads them down a path that is not good.Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity; whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.

Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.

For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken falsely, and your tongue mutters wicked things.No one calls for justice; no one pleads a case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.

Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.”

The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.

My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them.If they say,“ Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul;let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;cast lots with us; we will all share the loot”—my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.
