In Proverbs 21:8, the masculine singular absolute adjective qualifies the description of a man's way in a clause contrasted with the work of the pure and upright; the APB renders the verse, "The way of a man is crooked and guilty, but the work of the pure and upright is pleasant."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Proverbs 21:8, the APB presents the man's way as "crooked and guilty." The specific contribution of the lemma cannot be isolated beyond the verse's blameworthy characterization.
