24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;

keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

24 Put away from you crooked speech,

and put devious talk far from you.

24 Put away from thee a froward mouth,

And perverse lips put far from thee.

24 Avoid all perverse talk;

stay away from corrupt speech.

24 Don’t use your mouth to tell lies;

don’t ever say things that are not true.

24 Put away from thee a wayward mouth,

And perverse lips put far from thee.

24 Put away from thee perverseness of mouth, and corrupt lips put far from thee.

24 Remove dishonesty from your mouth. 

Put deceptive speech far away from your lips. 

24 Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly,

and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

24 Put away from you crooked speech,

and put devious talk far from you.

24 Remove from yourself deceitful speech,

and abolish devious talk from yourself.

24 Don’t speak with twisted words.

Keep evil talk away from your lips.

24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth

And put devious speech far from you.
