⁷ The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,
    for they refuse to do justice.
⁸ Crooked is the way of a man and a foreigner,
    but the pure is upright in his conduct.

¹⁰ The soul^[a] of the wicked desires evil;
    his neighbor will not find mercy in his eyes.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
    how much more when he brings it in divisiveness!

²⁹ A wicked man is strong in his countenance,^[a]
    but the upright will appoint his paths.
