The Hebrew that is translated as “perverted what was right” in these verses in English is translated in the widely-used Mandarin Chinese Union Version with a historical 4-character Chinese idiom: diāndǎo shìfēi (顛倒是非 / 颠倒是非), literally “turn upside down right and wrong.”
Verse: Job 33:27
יָשֹׁ֤ר ׀ עַל־אֲנָשִׁ֗ים וַיֹּ֗אמֶר חָ֭טָאתִי וְיָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי וְלֹא־שָׁ֥וָה לִֽי׃
27That person sings to others and says,
‘I sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not paid back to me.
