³³ Yahweh’s curse is in the house of the wicked,
    but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
³⁴ Surely he mocks the mockers,
    but he gives grace to the humble.

²³ Keep your heart with all diligence,
    for out of it is the wellspring of life.
²⁴ Put away from yourself a perverse mouth.
    Put corrupt lips far from you.
²⁵ Let your eyes look straight ahead.
    Fix your gaze directly before you.
²⁶ Make the path of your feet level.
    Let all of your ways be established.
²⁷ Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left.
    Remove your foot from evil.

³⁵ For whoever finds me, finds life,
    and will obtain favor from Yahweh.

⁶ Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
    but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

¹⁷ The merciful man does good to his own soul,
    but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
