"Giving you salvation from the evil man, from those whose words are false;"
— Proverbs 2:12, Bible in Basic English
“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:”
Then you will have knowledge of righteousness and right acting, and upright behaviour, even of every good way.
For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul;
Wise purposes will be watching over you, and knowledge will keep you;
Giving you salvation from the evil man, from those whose words are false;
Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;
Who take pleasure in wrongdoing, and have joy in the evil designs of the sinner;
Whose ways are not straight, and whose footsteps are turned to evil:
