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.

¹⁰ Don't oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'

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.

²⁹ Don't devise evil against your neighbor, Seeing he dwells securely by you.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

⁵ I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," says Yahweh of Hosts.

¹³ You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,

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

³⁵ The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure{TR adds "of the heart"} brings out evil things.

²⁸ but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

³ Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

⁴ I will cause it to go out," says Yahweh of Hosts, "and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones."

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.

² They covet fields, and seize them; And houses, and take them away: And they oppress a man and his house, Even a man and his heritage.

³ Therefore thus says Yahweh: "Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, From which you will not remove your necks, Neither will you walk haughtily; For it is an evil time.

⁴ However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, don't do this abominable thing that I hate.

² and you shall swear, As Yahweh lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

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

¹⁴ In whose heart is perverseness, Who devises evil continually, Who always sows discord.

³ For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.

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

⁶ You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
