Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon.

所以以色列的圣者如此说，因为你们藐视这训诲的话，依赖欺压和乖僻，以此为可靠的。

youdao

Are those who have been disappointed in their first choice, whether from the inconstancy of its object, or the perverseness of circumstances, to be equally indifferent during the rest of their lives?

难道凡是第一次选择失当的人，无论因为对象朝三暮四，还是因为情况违逆多舛，就该一辈子漠然处之？

youdao

KJV a wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

[新译]说安慰话的舌头是生命树；奸恶的舌头使人心碎。
