“Why not?” you say. Because God can’t stand twisted souls.
It’s the straightforward who get his respect.
33–35God’s curse blights the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
He gives proud skeptics a cold shoulder,
but if you’re down on your luck, he’s right there to help.

for he who is perverse is an abomination of Yahweh,
but those who are upright are his confidence.
The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked,
and the abode of the righteous ones he blesses.
With those who scorn, he is scornful,
but to those who are humble, he gives favor.

But he giveth grace unto the lowly.
