To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, From the man that speaketh froward things;
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: But a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the froward mouth, do I hate.
Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you,
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Forsake the foolish, and live; And go in the way of understanding.
For the froward is abomination to the LORD: But his secret is with the righteous.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
A naughty person, a wicked man, Walketh with a froward mouth.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: But the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
Thine eyes shall behold strange women, And thine heart shall utter perverse things.
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
