⁸ The way of man is froward and strange:
    but as for the pure, his work is right.

¹² The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:
    but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

¹⁵ It is joy to the just to do judgment:
    but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

¹⁸ The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,
    and the transgressor for the upright.

²¹ He that followeth after righteousness and mercy
    findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

²⁹ A wicked man hardeneth his face:
    but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
