King James Bible
"With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward."
God reveals His purity to those whose hearts are sincere and morally clean. This reflects the biblical principle that God responds to people according to their spiritual disposition, manifesting His holy character to those who seek righteousness. To the perverse or crooked, God appears as an opponent who thwarts their schemes. The Hebrew word suggests God acts shrewdly against those who are twisted in their ways, demonstrating divine justice that mirrors human moral choices.
