A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.

A froward man soweth strife and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.

He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
