“Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. a froward: Heb. frowardness of mouth and perverseness of lips”
Proverbs 4:24 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 4:24
Put away from you froward (iqqueshut - perverse, crooked) mouth, and perverse lips put far from you. The command addresses corrupt speech requiring active rejection - not passive avoidance but intentional putting away. Perverse speech includes lying, gossip, flattery, cursing, and all verbal corruption. The verse assumes tongue control requires heart transformation - speech reflects character, so changing speech requires changing heart.
