Proverbs 2:15

15 Their paths are crooked. Their ways are devious.

Proverbs 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.

Proverbs 2:15 In-Context

13 from those who abandon the paths of righteousness to walk the ways of darkness,

14 from those who enjoy doing evil, from those who find joy in the deviousness of evil.

15 Their paths are crooked. Their ways are devious.

16 [Wisdom will] also save you from an adulterous woman, from a loose woman with her smooth talk,

17 who leaves [her husband,] the closest friend of her youth, and forgets her marriage vows to her God.
