³³ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked:
but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
³⁴ Surely he scorneth the scorners:
but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
²⁴ Put away from thee a froward mouth,
and perverse lips put far from thee.
²⁵ Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
²⁶ Ponder the path of thy feet,
and let all thy ways be established.
²⁷ Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
remove thy foot from evil.

⁶ Blessings are upon the head of the just:
    but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

¹⁷ The merciful man doeth good to his own soul:
    but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

³¹ Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:
    much more the wicked and the sinner.

² A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord:
    but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

¹² The wicked desireth the net of evil men:
    but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

²¹ Evil pursueth sinners:
    but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

¹⁴ The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways:
    and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
