Catholic Public Domain Version
"so that you may be rescued from the evil way, and from the man who speaks perversities, "
— Proverbs 2:12, Catholic Public Domain Version
“To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;”
“To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse 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 you shall understand justice and judgment, and equity, and every good path.
If wisdom is to enter into your heart, and if knowledge is to become pleasing to your soul,
then counsel must guard you, and prudence must serve you,
so that you may be rescued from the evil way, and from the man who speaks perversities,
from those who leave the straight path to walk in dark ways,
who rejoice when they have done evil, and who exult in the most wicked things.
Their ways are perverse, and their steps are infamous.
