Perverse
Perverse
per-vurs: The group perverse, -ly, -ness, act perversely in the King James Version represents nearly 20 Hebrew words, of which, however, most are derivatives of the stems , awah, , luz, , akash. The Revised Version (British and American) has made few changes. In Job 6:30, the Revised Version (British and American) mischievous is better for the taste of a thing, and in Isa 59:3 greater emphasis is gained by the Revised Version (British and American) wickedness. In Eze 9:9, wresting of judgment is perhaps too concrete, and perverseness is kept in the margin (inverted in the King James Version). the Revised Version margin headlong in Num 22:32 is over-literal, but in Num 23:21 the American Standard Revised Version margin’s trouble is a distinct improvement.
