12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.
There are wicked men in the earth and wicked plans and ways. God’s wisdom is the light that reveals this darkness and protects us from being ensnared by their traps and the temporal lust of these pursuits.
