Exegesis
The coordinated nouns iqqeshut {עִקְּשׁוּת | ʿiq-qā-šût} ‘crookedness’ and ulezut {וּלְזוּת | ū-le-zût} ‘perversion’ highlight volitional distortion in speech, while the conjunction on ulezut maintains the flow between commands. The attached prepositional phrases directly bind moral failures to the speech organs, urging complete separation from corrupt words. English renderings preserve the original’s forceful causative mood and parallel structure.
In context — Proverbs 4:24
Remove from yourself the crookedness of mouth, and let the perversion of lips be far from you.
