8:13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
I hate arrogant pride and the evil way
and perverse utterances.
10:32 The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing,
but the speech of the wicked is perverse.
11:20 The Lord abhors those who are perverse in heart,
but those who are blameless in their ways are his delight.
15:4 Speech that heals is like a life-giving tree,
but a perverse tongue breaks the spirit.
16:30 The one who winks his eyes devises perverse things,
and one who compresses his lips brings about evil.
22:5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the perverse,
but the one who guards himself keeps far from them.
28:18 The one who walks blamelessly will be delivered,
but whoever is perverse in his ways will fall at once.
