10 “People who want to live a full life and enjoy good days
    must keep their tongues from saying evil things,
        and their lips from speaking deceitful things.
11 They must turn away from evil and do good.
    They must seek peace and pursue it.
12 The Lord’s eyes are on those who do what he approves.
    His ears hear their prayer.
    The Lord confronts those who do evil.”

10 For,

“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a](A)
