First, It signifieth to be wicked, or to do wickedly; thus we read it at the 12th verse of this chapter, Surely God will not do wickedly. He that is altogether holy and righteous, doth all things holily and righteously. The same word signifieth to do wickedly, and to make trouble, because to do wickedly bringeth trouble often upon others, always upon the doers.

The same word signifieth to do wickedly, and to make trouble, because to do wickedly bringeth trouble often upon others, alwayes upon the doers.
Secondly; it signifieth to condemn; thus we translate, at the 17th verse of this chapter, Wilt thou condemn him (as one that hath done wickedly) who is most just? The same word may well signify to do wickedly, and to condemn, because they who do so, are worthy to be condemned. In this sense also we translate it, in that famous Prophecy of Christ,1 (Isa. 50.9.) He is near that justifieth me, who shall condemn me? or make me wicked and unrighteous. Thus some render the mind of Elihu in this place, if he giveth peace or quietness, who can condemn?
