¹³ The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me.

⁶ By mercy and good faith evil-doing is taken away: and by the fear of the Lord men are turned away from evil.

¹⁰ You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

²² Keep from every form of evil.

⁵ And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

²⁴ Put away from you an evil tongue, and let false lips be far from you.

³ I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.

³ Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.

¹⁹ But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.

⁹ Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

¹⁷ Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.

¹⁵ Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.

¹⁶ Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:

¹⁷ Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;

¹⁸ A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;

¹⁹ A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.

¹² A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;

⁶ Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

¹²⁸ Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.

¹⁰⁴ Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.

⁴ For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with you.

⁵ The sons of pride have no place before you; you are a hater of all workers of evil.

³¹ The mouth of the upright man is budding with wisdom, but the twisted tongue will be cut off.
