⁹ Fools make a mock at sin:
    but among the righteous there is favour.

¹¹ The house of the wicked shall be overthrown:
    but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord:
    but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

    but the way of the righteous is made plain.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:
    he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
