Straight vs. Bent

Strong’s #5771, avon. Bent one, bowed. From #5753, avah, to bend, twist. Considered to be in opposition to the metaphor of being “straight”. The basic verb has been interpreted to be figurative for perversity, iniquity, crooked, amiss. Hence,

He has walled-up my roads in a cut-one, my paths he has bent [avah].
