His people have acted corruptly toward Him;
this is their defect—they are not His children
but a devious and crooked generation.

With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.

For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.

With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.

A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with evil.

But for those who choose their own devious paths, the LORD will lead them away, along with those who practice evil. Peace be upon Israel. A Song of Ascents

[in order] to deliver you from the way of evil, from a man who speaks devious things--

Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;

for the devious are detestable to the Lord,
but He is a friend to the upright.

Remove from yourself {deceitful speech}, and abolish {devious talk} from yourself.

A worthless man, a wicked man, goes around with devious speech,

Devious minds are abhorrent to the LORD, but those whose ways are innocent are his delight.

He who walks in uprightness [reverently] fears the Lord [and obeys and worships Him with profound respect],
But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.

A quick tempered person does foolish things, and a devious man is hated.

The tongue that heals is a tree of life,
but a devious tongue breaks the spirit.

The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

Their hearts are devious;
now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord will break down their altars
and demolish their sacred pillars.
