and loves many days, that he may see good?

Keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from speaking deceit.

Turn away from evil and do good;

seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous

and his ears toward their cry.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from telling lies.

and his ears are attentive to their cry;

but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

to blot out their name from the earth.
