Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"The foolishness of man subverteth his way; And his heart fretteth against Jehovah." — Proverbs 19:3 (ASV)

The non-wisdom which, having brought about disasters by its own perverseness, then turns around and “fretteth”—that is, angrily complains—against the Providence of God.

Perverteth—Rather, “overturns,” “makes to fail.”
