⁷ The violence of the wicked sweeps them away,
    because they refuse to do what is just.

⁸ The guilty walk a crooked path;
    the innocent travel a straight road.

¹⁰ Evil people desire evil;
    their neighbors get no mercy from them.

²⁷ The sacrifice of an evil person is detestable,
    especially when it is offered with wrong motives.

²⁹ The wicked bluff their way through,
    but the virtuous think before they act.
