²⁸ A corrupt witness mocks justice,
    and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.

⁴ A high look and a proud heart,
    the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

⁷ The violence of the wicked will drive them away,
    because they refuse to do what is right.

¹⁰ The soul of the wicked desires evil;
    his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

¹² The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked,
    and brings the wicked to ruin.

¹⁸ The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
    the treacherous for the upright.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination—
    how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!

²⁹ A wicked man hardens his face;
    but as for the upright, he establishes his ways.

¹⁵ Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous.
    Don’t destroy his resting place;

¹⁶ for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again;
    but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
