This Proverb, as well as Proverbs 2:12-15, show the contrast between walking on the path of light or darkness. When men leave the straight path, they walk in darkness, delight in doing wrong, and rejoice in the perverseness of evil. This crooked path then makes them quarrelsome, ill tempered, and deceitful. Their words are those of rebellion and apostasy as they strife to twist the truth with half-lies. And if we’re not careful, we can be sucked into their dishonesty and hate. But we have the protective power of Godly wisdom, and it will deliver us from evil men as we do what is right in the sight of the Lord with integrity, honesty, and discretion.
