Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee,

In righteousness are all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing in them is froward and perverse.

Better is the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse in his lips, who is a fool.

Thorns -- snares are in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.

Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.

An abomination to Jehovah are the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way are His delight.

The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.

Better is the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.

An abomination to the righteous is the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked is the upright in the way!
