Crooked
Job 26:13 (c) This word probably describes the wicked, cruel ways of Satan.
Ecc 1:15 (b) This refers to things in our life which cannot be straightened out by men. An illustration would be a child that is born deformed, or blind, or with a defective mind, and this cannot be altered nor changed. It evidently refers to things that are wrong, either in the body, or in our circumstances, or in our relationships, which are unhappy, unfortunate and tragic, and which are of such a nature that they cannot be remedied. (See also Ecc 7:13).
Isa 40:4 (b) Our Lord is promising that things in this world, or in the life of His child which may be unrighteous, ungodly, harmful and hindering may be straightened out by His power and be made to fit into GOD’s plan.
Phi 2:15 (a) This describes wicked people whose lives do not measure up to the teaching of the Word of GOD.
