What Does Proverbs 2:15 Mean?
Crooked ways and froward paths are not straight; they twist and turn in confusion and deception. The image contrasts sharply with the straight paths of the righteous. To walk crooked is to walk in confusion and self-deception.
This verse summarizes the character shown in verses 13-14: those who leave the straight path inevitably walk in crookedness. There is no neutral ground—departure from uprightness leads to increasing distortion.
