Evil » Way » General references to
The way of the [arrogant] fool [who rejects God’s wisdom] is right in his own eyes,
But a wise and prudent man is he who listens to counsel.
Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;
They do not know the way of peace,
And there is no justice in their tracks.
They have made them into crooked paths;
Whoever walks on them does not know peace.
There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him,
But its end is the way of death.
Good understanding wins favor [from others],
But the way of the unfaithful is hard [like barren, dry soil].
The way [of life] of the wicked is hateful and exceedingly offensive to the Lord,
But He loves one who pursues righteousness [personal integrity, moral courage and honorable character].

To shine upon those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
To guide our feet [in a straight line] into the way of peace and serenity.”
The way of the righteous [those in right-standing with God—living in moral and spiritual integrity] is smooth and level;
O Upright One, make a level path for the just and righteous.
that the Lord your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing that we should do.”
