to deliver you from the way of evil, from those speaking perverse things,
Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
He who walks with wise men is wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
To fear Adonai is to hate evil. I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and a perverse mouth.
Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in.
Even from among yourselves will arise men speaking perversions, to draw the disciples away after themselves.
Abandon your foolish ways and live! Walk in the way of understanding.”
For the devious are detestable to Adonai, but He takes the upright into His confidence.
Let not my heart turn to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity, nor let me eat of their delicacies.
A perverse heart will depart from me. I will know nothing evil.
A scoundrel, a wicked man, is one who goes around with a perverse mouth,
The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
Your eyes will see strange things. Your heart will utter perverse things.
Whoever trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will escape.
