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.
