¹⁹ Evil people will bow down before the good;
    wicked people are at the gates of the righteous.

²⁶ The Lord detests evil plans,
    but gracious words are pure.

¹¹ Evil people seek only rebellion;
    a cruel messenger will be sent against them.

24 Don’t envy evil people,
    and don’t long to be with them.
² Their hearts are focused on violence,
    and their lips speak of trouble.

¹⁹ Don’t get fighting mad at evil people;
    don’t be envious of the wicked.
²⁰ Indeed, there is no future for the evil;
    the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

⁵ Evil people don’t understand justice,
    but those who seek the Lord understand everything.

⁶ The wicked are snared by their own sin;^[a]
    the righteous sing and rejoice.
