¹² Why is your heart uncontrolled, and why are your eyes lifted up;

¹³ But if you put your heart right, stretching out your hands to him;

² Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.

¹⁹ Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

¹³ Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;

⁹ Have joy, O young man, while you are young; and let your heart be glad in the days of your strength, and go in the ways of your heart, and in the desire of your eyes; but be certain that for all these things God will be your judge.

²¹ Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

²² The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:

³ But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

⁴ While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.

²² Let your heart be changed, and make prayer to God that you may have forgiveness for your evil thoughts.

¹⁴ But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

¹⁵ Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
