26 to the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

27 You save the humble

but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure;

And with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people;

But wilt bring down high looks.

26 To the pure you show yourself pure,

but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

27 You rescue the humble,

but you humiliate the proud.

26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;

And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

27 For You will save the humble people,

But will bring down haughty looks.

26 You are pure to those who are pure,

but you are against those who are bad.

27 You save the humble,

but you bring down those who are proud.

26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;

And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people;

But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary. 27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.

26 with pure people you are pure. 

⸤In dealing⸥ with devious people you are clever. 

27 You save humble people, 

but you bring down a conceited look. 

26 with the pure

You prove Yourself pure,

but with the crooked

You prove Yourself shrewd.

27 For You rescue an afflicted people,

but You humble those with haughty eyes.

26 with the pure you show yourself pure;

and with the crooked you show yourself perverse.

27 For you deliver a humble people,

but the haughty eyes you bring down.

26 To the pure you show yourself pure.

but to the wicked you show yourself shrewd.

27 For you deliver humble people,

but haughty eyes you humiliate.

26 To those who are pure you show that you are pure.

But to those whose paths are crooked you show that you are clever.

27 You save those who aren’t proud.

But you bring down those whose eyes are proud.

26 With the pure You show Yourself pure,

And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.

27 For You save an afflicted people,

But haughty eyes You abase.
