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

⁶ In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.

¹⁰ Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

²² from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

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

³ I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

³ Ye multiply not -- ye speak haughtily -- The old saying goeth out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge `is' Jehovah, And by Him actions are weighed.

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

⁹ The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

¹⁷ And each the evil of his neighbour ye do not devise in your heart, And a false oath ye do not love, For all these `are' things that I have hated, An affirmation of Jehovah.'

¹⁵ Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be Jehovah, God of Hosts, doth pity the remnant of Joseph.

¹⁸ Before destruction `is' pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'

¹⁶ These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven `are' abominations to His soul.

¹⁷ Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --

¹⁸ A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --

¹⁹ A false witness `who' doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

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

⁶ For high `is' Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

¹²⁸ Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!

¹⁰⁴ From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!

⁴ For not a God desiring wickedness `art' Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

⁵ The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

³¹ The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.
