¹⁴ Enter not into the path of the wicked,
And walk not in the way of evil men.

¹⁹ The evil bow down before the good;
And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.

²⁶ Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah;
But ^[a]pleasant words are pure.

^11 [a]An evil man seeketh only rebellion;
Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

24 Be not thou envious against evil men;
Neither desire to be with them:
² For their heart studieth oppression,
And their lips talk of mischief.

¹⁹ Fret not thyself because of evil-doers;
Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
²⁰ For there shall be no reward to the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

⁵ Evil men understand not justice;
But they that seek Jehovah understand all things.

⁶ In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare;
But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
