"to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things;"
— Proverbs 2:12, World English Bible
“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 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 will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who 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:
