Bible Verses About Righteousness

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

Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;

Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;

Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:

To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

None that go unto her return again, Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous.
