   In Amos 3:10 the singular adjective occurs in the clause about not knowing how to act, which the APB renders "They do not know how to do right." In Isaiah 26:10 it describes the land where the wicked nevertheless acts unjustly; in Isaiah 30:10 it stands in the request for visions set against "smooth things" and "illusions"; and in Isaiah 59:14 it belongs to the sequence in which justice is driven back and truth stumbles.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding clauses with "do right," "land of uprightness," "true visions," and "uprightness cannot come in." These renderings show the verses' contexts rather than establishing a separate English equivalent in each case.
