Who perversely in his heart plots trouble and evil continually;Who spreads discord and strife.
She was boisterous and rebellious;She would not stay at home.
The lips of the righteous know (speak) what is acceptable,But the mouth of the wicked knows (speaks) what is perverted (twisted).
The integrity and moral courage of the upright will guide them,But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.
A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life,But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.
He who has a crooked mind finds no good,And he who is perverted in his language falls into evil.
Thorns and snares are in the way of the obstinate [for their lack of honor and their wrong-doing traps them];He who guards himself [with godly wisdom] will be far from them and avoid the consequences they suffer.
