Proverbs 2:12 (KJV 1900) — 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, From the man that speaketh froward things;

The second result of wisdom and knowledge is to know how to avoid being enticed by the evil and froward person. The word froward means “perverse, that is, turning from, with aversion or reluctance; not willing to yield or comply with what is required; unyielding, ungovernable; disobedient; peevish” (Webster). Wisdom and knowledge will enable a person to detect the error in the evil person’s way and words.
