I perceive that it hath been made known unto you by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round.

I see that you have learned from God’s word that he cannot walk on crooked paths. He does not change from what he has said. He never turns from the right to the left. He never turns from what is right to what is wrong. He stays the same forever.

You’ve learned through His word that He doesn’t walk crooked paths, never changes what He’s said, and never wavers from right to left or from right to wrong. His course is eternal and unchanging.
