¹⁸ A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

⁵ Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

¹⁶ For their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

¹⁵ "Their feet are swift to shed blood.

⁴ He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good; He doesn't abhor evil.

⁷ Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.

¹⁴ Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?

¹⁷ and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate," says Yahweh.

⁸ One who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer.

¹ Woe to those who devise iniquity And work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand.
