12 Bible Verses about Perversion

“You felt secure in your wickedness and said,
‘No one sees me,’
Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you;
For you have said in your heart,
‘I am, and there is no one besides me.’

“You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just.

You shall not distort justice; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

The foolishness of man ruins his way,
And his heart rages against the Lord.

A man will be praised according to his insight,
But one of perverse mind will be despised.

He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.

He who has a crooked mind finds no good,
And he who is perverted in his language falls into evil.

He who walks in integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will be found out.

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity
Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool.

Does not wisdom call, And understanding lift up her voice? On top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand; Beside the gates, at the opening to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out: read more.
"To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men. "O naive ones, understand prudence; And, O fools, understand wisdom. "Listen, for I will speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal right things. "For my mouth will utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. "All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.

The integrity of the upright will guide them,
But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.

A soothing tongue is a tree of life,
But perversion in it crushes the spirit.
