'Contrary' in the Bible
‘If then, you act with hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times in accordance with your sins.
‘And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,
then I also will act with hostility against you, and I will strike you seven times for your sins.
‘Yet if in spite of this you will not [attentively] listen to Me but act with hostility against me,
then I will act with hostility against you in wrath, and I also will punish you seven times for your sins.
‘If they confess their wickedness and the wickedness of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they have committed against Me—and also in their acting with hostility toward Me—
I also was acting with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—then if their uncircumcised (sin-filled) hearts are humbled and they accept the punishment for their wickedness,
The Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because your behavior was obstinate and contrary to Me.
Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar) on the thirteenth day when the king’s command and edict were about to be executed, on the [very] day when the enemies of the Jews had hoped to gain power over them [and slaughter them], it happened the other way around so that the Jews themselves gained power over those who hated them.
With the pure You show Yourself pure,And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
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.
But as for the prophet who [on the contrary] prophesies of peace, when that prophet’s word comes to pass, [only] then will it be known that the Lord has truly sent him.”
