Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

Doth God H410 pervert H5791 (PielImpf) judgment? H4941 Or doth the Almighty H7706 pervert H5791 (PielImpf) justice? H6664

μη ο κυριος αδικησει κρινων η ο τα παντα ποιησας ταραξει το δικαιον

know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.

Know H3045 (QalImpv) now H645 that God H433 hath overthrown H5791 (PielPerf) me, And hath compassed H5362 (HiphPerf) me with his net. H4686

γνωτε ουν οτι ο κυριος εστιν ο ταραξας οχυρωμα δε αυτου επ εμε υψωσεν

Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

Yea, surely H551 God H410 will not do wickedly, H7561 (HiphImpf) Neither will the Almighty H7706 pervert H5791 (PielImpf) judgment. H4941

οιη δε τον κυριον ατοπα ποιησειν η ο παντοκρατωρ ταραξει κρισιν

Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

Let the proud H2086 be ashamed; H954 (QalImpf) for they dealt perversely H5791 (PielPerf) with me without a cause: H8267 But I will meditate H7878 (QalImpf) in thy precepts. H6490

^[118:78] αισχυνθητωσαν υπερηφανοι οτι αδικως ηνομησαν εις εμε εγω δε αδολεσχησω εν ταις εντολαις σου

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

The Lord H3068 preserveth H8104 (QalActPtc) the strangers; H1616 He relieveth H5749 (PileImpf) the fatherless H3490 and widow: H490 But the way H1870 of the wicked H7563 he turneth upside down. H5791 (PielImpf)

^[145:9] κυριος φυλασσει τους προσηλυτους ορφανον και χηραν αναλημψεται και οδον αμαρτωλων αφανιει

That which is crooked H5791 (PualPtc) cannot H3201 (QalImpf) be made straight: H8626 (QalInf) and that which is wanting^§ H2642 cannot H3201 (QalImpf) be numbered. H4487 (NiphInf)

διεστραμμενον ου δυνησεται του επικοσμηθηναι και υστερημα ου δυνησεται του αριθμηθηναι

Consider H7200 (QalImpv) the work H4639 of God: H430 for who can H3201 (QalImpf) make that straight, H8626 (PielInf) which he hath made crooked? H5791 (PielPerf)

ιδε τα ποιηματα του θεου οτι τις δυνησεται του κοσμησαι ον αν ο θεος διαστρεψη αυτον

in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows are darkened,

εν ημερα η εαν σαλευθωσιν φυλακες της οικιας και διαστραφωσιν ανδρες της δυναμεως και ηργησαν αι αληθουσαι οτι ωλιγωθησαν και σκοτασουσιν αι βλεπουσαι εν ταις οπαις

H7668 and the sabbath, H7676 that we may set forth^§ H6605 (QalImpf) wheat, H1250 making the ephah H374 small, H6994 (HiphInf) and the shekel H8255 great, H1431 (HiphInf) and falsifying H5791 (PielInf) the balances H3976 by deceit?^§ H4820
