whose paths ¹  are morally crooked, ²  and who are devious ³  in their ways;

The righteous person is delivered ¹  out of trouble, and the wicked turns up in his stead. ² 

The one who wanders ¹  from the way of wisdom ²  will end up ³  in the company of the departed. ⁴

They ¹  immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
