In the Hebrew Bible, this term is used to highlight the contrast between the righteous and the wicked, emphasizing the consequences of perverse actions. The concept of perversity in the biblical context is not merely about being wrong but involves a willful deviation from God's commandments and the established moral order. This term is often used in wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, to warn against the dangers of following a perverse path and to encourage adherence to wisdom and righteousness. The Berean Standard Bible captures this nuance in its translation, emphasizing the moral and ethical implications of being perverse.
