For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; but his secret is with the upright.

A man of Belial, a wicked person, is he that goeth about with a perverse mouth;

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing tortuous or perverse in them.

The perverse in heart are abomination to Jehovah; but they that are perfect in their way are his delight.

He that hath a perverse heart findeth no good; and he that shifteth about with his tongue falleth into evil.

Better is a poor man that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse, double in ways, though he be rich.
