⁵ I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

⁶ I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.

²¹ Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

²² I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies.

¹ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

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.

⁴ A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

⁵ Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

⁶ Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

⁷ He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

⁸ Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah. Psalm 102 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.

⁹ I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators;

¹⁰ not at all `meaning' with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world:

¹¹ but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners?

¹² But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
