¹³ The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.

¹⁰ You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

²² Abstain from every form of evil.

⁵ Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

²⁴ Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.

³ I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

³ Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Don't let arrogance come out of your mouth; For Yahweh is a God of knowledge, By him actions are weighed.

¹⁹ However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord{TR reads "Christ" instead of "the Lord"} depart from unrighteousness."

⁹ Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

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.

¹⁵ Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph."

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁶ There are six things which Yahweh hates; Yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood;

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

¹⁹ A false witness who utters lies, And he who sows discord among brothers.

¹² A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he who walks with a perverse mouth;

⁶ For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; But the proud, he knows from afar.

¹²⁸ Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

¹⁰⁴ Through your precepts, I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way.

⁴ For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

⁵ The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

³¹ The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut off.
