'Contrary' in the Bible
Put away from you a deceitful (lying, misleading) mouth,And put devious lips far from you.
A worthless person, a wicked man,Is one who walks with a perverse (corrupt, vulgar) mouth.
Who perversely in his heart plots trouble and evil continually;Who spreads discord and strife.
“All the words of my mouth are in righteousness (upright, in right standing with God);There is nothing contrary to truth or perverted (crooked) in them.
The lips of the righteous know (speak) what is acceptable,But the mouth of the wicked knows (speaks) what is perverted (twisted).
The perverse in heart are repulsive and shamefully vile to the Lord,But those who are blameless and above reproach in their walk are His delight!
He who walks in uprightness [reverently] fears the Lord [and obeys and worships Him with profound respect],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.
