²⁸ A ^[a]disreputable witness scorns justice,
And ^(A)the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.

^4 (A)A haughty look, a proud heart,
And the ^[a]plowing of the wicked are sin.

⁷ The violence of the wicked will ^[a]destroy them,
Because they refuse to do justice.

^10 (A)The soul of the wicked desires evil;
His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

¹² The righteous God wisely considers the house of the wicked,
Overthrowing the wicked for their wickedness.

¹⁸ The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,
And the unfaithful for the upright.

^27 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
How much more when he brings it with wicked intent!

²⁹ A wicked man hardens his face,
But as for the upright, he ^[a]establishes his way.

¹⁵ Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not plunder his resting place;
