To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
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.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
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.
For the froward is abomination to Yahweh: but his secret is with the righteous.
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith Yahweh, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
