⁵ But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 126 A Song of Ascents.

¹⁵ Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:

⁶ Yea, see thou thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 129 A Song of Ascents.

¹⁶ And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace `be' upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

⁸ The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.

⁴ Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

³ I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

³⁸ But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

⁴⁸ But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;

⁴⁹ and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;

⁵⁰ the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,

⁵¹ and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

⁶ and them that are turned back from following Jehovah; and those that have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired after him.

¹¹ My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.

⁷ When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

⁴ They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.

¹⁴ The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man `shall be satisfied' from himself.

¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee.

¹³ And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

¹⁹ Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

²⁶ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

¹⁸ And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.

¹³ So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah, which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire `thereby',

¹⁴ and inquired not of Jehovah: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
