7  ^mThe violence of the wicked will sweep them away,

because they refuse to do what is just.

8  The way of the guilty is ⁿcrooked,

but the conduct of the pure is upright.

10  The soul of the wicked desires evil;

his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

27  ^zThe sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;

how much more when he brings it with evil intent.

29  A wicked man puts on a bold face,

but the upright ^bgives thought to¹ his ways.
