¹The word which we translate [perverse] signifies to wander, as a man uncertain of his way (Prov. 28.18.) Who so walketh uprightly (having the frame of his inward man right) he shall be saved, ²but he that is perverse in his ways) having a wandering, vagrant mind, going sometime this way, and sometime that, holding somewhat of this, and somewhat of that, but nothing to purpose or steadily of any thing, this man) shall fall at once; a man of an uncertain spirit, shall have a certain downfall. But was Job thus perverse? No, Job was perfect and not perverse: yet a boast of his perfection had been a proof of his perverseness. Nothing discovers an evil heart more then a profession of it's own goodness.
