A worthless and wicked person walks around saying perverse things;

a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift to run to evil,

The way of the Lord is like a stronghold for the upright, but it is destruction to evildoers.

The righteous do not encounter any harm, but the wicked are filled with calamity.

A crooked witness scorns justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.

Doing justice brings joy to the righteous and terror to those who do evil.

The one who sows iniquity will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury will end.

One who acts wickedly pays attention to evil counsel; a liar listens to a malicious tongue.

This is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have not done wrong.”
