A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

The perverse of heart(A) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor(B) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(C) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(D)
    will minister to me.
