³³ The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked,
    and the abode of the righteous ones he blesses.
³⁴ With those who scorn, he is scornful,
    but to those who are humble, he gives favor.

²³ With all vigilance, keep your heart,
    for from it comes the source^[a] of life.
²⁴ Remove from yourself deceitful speech,^[b]
    and abolish devious talk^[c] from yourself.
²⁵ May your eyes look forward^[d]
    and your gaze be straight before you.
²⁶ May the path of your foot be balanced
    and all your ways be sure.
²⁷ Do not swerve right or left;
    remove your foot from evil.

³⁵ For he who finds me is he who finds^[a] life,
    and he obtains favor from Yahweh.

⁶ Blessings belong to the head of the righteous,
    but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

¹⁷ A person of kindness rewards himself,^[a]
    but a cruel person harms his own flesh.
