American Standard Version
"To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things; "
— Proverbs 2:12, American Standard Version
“To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;”
“to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things;”
“to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity,”
“That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:”
“Giving you salvation from the evil man, from those whose words are false;”
“To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;”
Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, And equity, yea, every good path.
For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
Discretion shall watch over thee; Understanding shall keep thee:
To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;
Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;
Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;
Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:
