²⁸ If I had done that,
    I would not have been faithful to God in heaven.
I would have deserved punishment for that sin.
²⁹ I do not laugh at my enemies
    when they suffer.
If my enemy has troubles,
    it does not make me happy.
³⁰ I have not cursed my enemies,
    to ask God to kill them.
That would have caused a sin to come from my mouth!
