²⁴ Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee,

²⁶ If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain `is' the religion;

¹ Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,

²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

²⁶ be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

²⁷ neither give place to the devil;

²⁸ whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

²⁹ Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,

⁸ In righteousness `are' all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing in them is froward and perverse.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah `is' to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

¹² A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking `with' perverseness of mouth,

¹⁴ If iniquity `is' in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.

⁵ wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;

⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth.

³¹ Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do ye die, O house of Israel?

²⁰ The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.
