Sprueche 2:15 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 2:15

Whose ways [are] crooked
Which swerve from and are not agreeably to the rule of the divine word, either the law of God or the Gospel of Christ; sin is an aberration, a straying from the rule of God's word, a transgression of his law; and a walk in it is unbecoming the Gospel of Christ; it has many serpentine windings and turnings in it; full of distortions and excursions, and many retrograde actions; see ( Psalms 125:5 ) ( Isaiah 59:8 ) ; and [they] froward in their paths;
declining here and there, sometimes going one way and sometimes another, but always following that which is evil, and resolute to continue therein.

Sprueche 2:15 In-Context

13 die da verlassen die Pfade der Geradheit, um auf den Wegen der Finsternis zu wandeln;
14 die sich freuen, Böses zu tun, über boshafte Verkehrtheit frohlocken;
15 deren Pfade krumm sind, und die abbiegen in ihren Bahnen:
16 um dich zu erretten von dem fremden Weibe, von der Fremden, die ihre Worte glättet;
17 welche den Vertrauten ihrer Jugend verläßt und den Bund ihres Gottes vergißt.
