God Mirrors Our Attitude
Commentators agree this verse reveals a principle of reciprocity: God's posture toward a person mirrors their posture toward Him. To those who are pure in heart and action, He reveals His own purity and favor. To those who are perverse or 'froward' (a term meaning twisted or crooked), He shows Himself in opposition. As one scholar notes, this is a restatement of the truth that 'whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.'
