who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways

whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness

men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths.

Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong.

from those who abandon the right paths to walk in ways of darkness

whose paths are crooked,  and whose ways are devious.

Who leave the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness

Whose ways are crooked, And they froward in their paths

From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness

Whose ways are crooked, And who are devious in their paths

So now you can pick out what’s true and fair, find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. They’ll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions Of those who are lost themselves and can’t tell a trail from a tumbleweed, These losers who make a game of evil and throw parties to celebrate perversity, Traveling paths that go nowhere, wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.
