12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,

from men whose words are perverse,

12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,

From the man that speaketh froward things;

12 Wisdom will save you from evil people,

from those whose words are twisted.

12 To deliver you from the way of evil,

From the man who speaks perverse things,

12 It will keep you from the wicked,

from those whose words are bad,

12 To deliver thee from the way of evil,

From the men that speak perverse things;

12 To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;

12 ⸤Wisdom will⸥ save you 

from the way of evil, 

from the person who speaks devious things, 

12 rescuing you from the way of evil—

from the one who says perverse things,

12 It will save you from the way of evil,

from those who speak perversely,

12 in order to deliver you from the way of evil,

from a man who speaks devious things—

12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of evil men.

It will save you from men who twist their words.

12 To deliver you from the way of evil,

From the man who speaks perverse things;
