Crookedness or perversity, especially of speech and mouth; moral deviousness in words
This noun denotes the quality of being crooked or perverse, particularly in speech. Both occurrences in Proverbs (4:24, 6:12) condemn 'crookedness of mouth'—speech that is devious, dishonest, or morally twisted. The term emphasizes not just lying but a fundamental perversity in how one uses language. It represents the verbal manifestation of a crooked heart, where words serve to deceive and manipulate rather than communicate truth.

1. sense 1 — An abstract noun meaning crookedness or perversity, specifically of verbal expression. The construct form 'crookedness of mouth' appears in both verses, making this a technical term in Wisdom literature for deceitful speech. Spanish 'perversidad de boca' and the consistent cross-linguistic recognition of mouth/speech contexts show this is fundamentally about linguistic deviousness. Proverbs treats crooked speech as both symptom and tool of moral corruption. 2×
