⁴ For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

⁵ The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹³ Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

²¹ These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

²⁷ And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

¹⁷ Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

¹³ Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

¹⁵ To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹³ Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
