Discretion Delivers

Pr 2:10 ¶ When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

The Evil Man is described here for us so that we can avoid his company and also avoid becoming this man. This passage shows us the progression of the evil man. Let these characteristics be a warning sign to you.

v. 12 - His Words are froward or perverse. A persons speech can tell us a lot about him.
v. 13 - His Walk has departed from the right path and is directed toward darkness.
v. 14 - His WooHoo - He delights in his sin and he draws others to sin with him.

I do not want to be considered an evil man and I want to have enough wisdom to realize who will help me to grow closer to God and who will get me off the right track.
