Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,

King James Bible
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

American Standard Version
To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;

Young's Literal Translation
To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,

Proverbs 2:12 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

The man that speaketh froward things - תהפכות tahpuchoth, things of subverston; from תפך taphach, to turn or change the course of a thing. Men who wish to subvert the state of things, whether civil or religious; who are seditious themselves, and wish to make others so. These speak much of liberty and oppression, deal greatly in broad assertions, and endeavor especially to corrupt the minds of youth.
