Proverbs on Perverseness
(Seems to me like it's perverseness of the mouth and the heart more than anything)
2:12
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
(Froward 1: habitually disposed to disobedience and opposition 2: archaic : adverse)
2:14
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
2:15
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
3:32
For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
6:12, 14
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
8:3 13
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
10:32
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
11:20
They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
16:28,30
A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
17:20
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
22:5
The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
