“The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.”
The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright—a contrast between the twisted path of the guilty (whose deviation from truth corrupts all their ways) and the straight path of the innocent. The word 'devious' (aqesh) describes crooked, twisted paths; guilt produces constant deviation from integrity. The theological significance involves the principle that sin corrupts not merely a single action but the whole trajectory of life.
