I hate and abhor lying: but your law do I love.
He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not remain in my sight.
Through your precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love.
Therefore I esteem all your precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me your law graciously.
And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved.
A righteous man hates lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and comes to shame.
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food suitable for me:
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cling to that which is good.
Therefore putting away lying, let everyone speak truth with his neighbor: for we are members of one another.
For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie.
