I will be careful to lead a blameless life(A)
    when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs(B) of my house
    with a blameless heart.
I will not look with approval
    on anything that is vile.(C)

I hate what faithless people do;(D)
    I will have no part in it.
The perverse of heart(E) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor(F) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(G) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(H)
    will minister to me.

No one who practices deceit
    will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
    will stand in my presence.

It is not to be returned in the Jubilee. 31 But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as belonging to the open country. They can be redeemed, and they are to be returned in the Jubilee.
