To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak froward things;
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To be occupied in deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: But the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise: But the companion of fools shall smart for it.
Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thine heart shall utter froward things.
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD: But his secret is with the upright.
A worthless person, a man of iniquity; He walketh with a froward mouth;
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the froward mouth, do I hate.
Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.
and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners.
Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
