10 The holy writings say,`A man who wants to live and have good days must not say wrong things. He must not say anything that is not true.

11 He must turn away from anything wrong and do what is good. He must try hard to find peace, and keep on looking for it.

12 The Lord watches over those who do good. He listens when they talk to him. But the Lord is against those who do wrong things.'

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)
