Proverbs 3:32

32. For the froward The perverse; those departing from the principles of justice.

But his secret Secret or confidential intercourse or communion, as that of friend with friend. The wicked he loathes, the upright he loves. See Job 19:19; Psalms 55:14; Psalms 25:14, where the same word occurs, rendered in the first inward, intimate, or confidential friends, in the latter, counsel or intercourse. The word suggests that communion and interchange of thought which takes place only between intimate and confidential friends. The parallelism here is between נלוז , naloz, the curved or bent. rendered froward, and ישׁרים , yesharim, those that are straight, upright, or righteous.
