1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

²⁸ And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

²⁷ Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
