Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,

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,

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,

Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for“ bad company corrupts good character.”

All who fear the Lord will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech.

Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.

I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.

I have followed your commands, which keep me from following cruel and evil people.My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.

A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends.Violent people mislead their companions, leading them down a harmful path.With narrowed eyes, people plot evil; with a smirk, they plan their mischief.

Don’t do as the wicked do, and don’t follow the path of evildoers.Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way. Turn away and keep moving.For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day. They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.They eat the food of wickedness and drink the wine of violence!

Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord, but he offers his friendship to the godly.

Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following.

Your hands are the hands of murderers, and your fingers are filthy with sin. Your lips are full of lies, and your mouth spews corruption.No one cares about being fair and honest. The people’s lawsuits are based on lies. They conceive evil deeds and then give birth to sin.They hatch deadly snakes and weave spiders’ webs. Whoever eats their eggs will die; whoever cracks them will hatch a viper.

Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment.”

I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil.

Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.

My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them!They may say,“ Come and join us. Let’s hide and kill someone! Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave; let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.Think of the great things we’ll get! We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.Come, throw in your lot with us; we’ll all share the loot.”My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths.They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder.If a bird sees a trap being set, it knows to stay away.But these people set an ambush for themselves; they are trying to get themselves killed.Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
