Wicked Men And Their Wicked Ways
Proverbs 2:12-15 (NIV)

12) Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13) who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14) who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15) whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Wicked men with evil thoughts,
evil speech, and evil deeds,
slink down their crooked paths.

Wisdom protects the Righteous.

Narrow Paths Of The Rich And Poor
Proverbs 28:6 (NIV)

6) Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than the rich whose ways are perverse.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Poor is a common Narrow Path with many everyday survival issues.
Rich is a rare Narrow Path with many distractions, temptations, and pitfalls.

Rich and poor have this in common:
The Lord is the Maker of them all.
Proverbs 22:2 (NIV)
