⁵ But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

¹⁵ Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:

⁶ Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

¹⁶ As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.

⁸ The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.

⁴ Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, And doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

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

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled in his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

³⁸ But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

¹⁵ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

²⁷ Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

⁴⁸ But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,'

⁴⁹ and begins to beat his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken,

⁵⁰ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't expect it, and in an hour when he doesn't know it,

⁵¹ and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

²³ Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

⁶ those who have turned back from following Yahweh, and those who haven't sought Yahweh nor inquired after him.

¹¹ My foot has held fast to his steps. His way have I kept, and not turned aside.

⁷ Though the wicked spring up as the grass, And all the evil-doers flourish, They will be destroyed forever.

⁴ They pour out arrogant words. All the evil-doers boast.

¹⁴ The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; Likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.

¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, says Yahweh who has mercy on you.

¹³ All your children shall be taught of Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children.

¹⁹ Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts.

²⁶ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore.

¹⁸ In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, And with the birds of the sky, And with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, And will make them lie down safely.

¹³ So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of the word of Yahweh, which he didn't keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire [thereby],

¹⁴ and didn't inquire of Yahweh: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
