I will set nothing [a]wicked before my eyes;
(A)I hate the work of those (B)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (C)know wickedness.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
(D)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [b]perfect way,
He shall serve me.
He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not [c]continue in my presence.
(E)Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers (F)from the city of the Lord.

Immorality Must Be Judged

I wrote to you in my epistle (A)not to [a]keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go (B)out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company (C)with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—(D)not even to eat with such a person.
