New International Version
to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
King James Bible
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

I have seen many examples of this in the "alternative views" section of the forum. The point is simple -- if you see problems with God, then the real problem is your own heart.
This verse helps me to understand people.
I'll have to remember this verse in Psalms 18.25
