SCRIPTURE

"But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel." — Psalms 125:5 (ASV)

Turn aside to their crooked ways. —Or, bend their crooked ways, that is, pursue evil courses.

But peace. —Better, as an innovation on the customary form, peace be in Israel. (See Note on Psalms 122:6, and compare Psalms 128:6.)
