'Perverted' in the Bible

His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

“He sings out to other men,‘I have sinned and perverted that which was right,And it was not proper for me!

“The [reverent] fear and worshipful awe of the Lord includes the hatred of evil;Pride and arrogance and the evil way,And the perverted mouth, I hate.

A voice is heard on the barren heights,The weeping and pleading of the children of Israel,Because they have lost their way,They have [deliberately] forgotten the Lord their God.

Therefore, the law is ineffective and ignoredAnd justice is never upheld,For the wicked surround the righteous;Therefore, justice becomes perverted.
