Simplified Meaning:
Even bad people can use good things to get what they want. For example, in real life, someone might take kind or wise words from a holy book and twist their meaning to justify doing something wrong. Just because they use something good, it doesn't mean they have good intentions. Imagine a dishonest friend who uses your own words against you to make themselves look good or to win an argument—they're using your words, but not in the way you meant them. So, the advice here is to be careful and not blindly trust someone just because they seem knowledgeable or use impressive words. Always look at their actions and true intentions.
