10 For,

“The one who loves life,
    wanting to see good days,
must keep his tongue from evil
    and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 He must turn away from evil and do good.
    He must seek shalom and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of Adonai are on the righteous
    and His ears open to their prayer,
but the face of Adonai is against those who do evil.”[a]

but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a](A)
