Do not deviseharmagainstyour neighbor,While he livessecurelybesideyou.
For they do not speakpeace,But they devisedeceitfulwordsagainstthose whoare quietin the land.
He has putforthhis handsagainst those whowere at peacewith him; He has violatedhis covenant.
For behold,they have setan ambushfor my life;Fiercemenlaunchan attackagainstme, Not for my transgressionnorfor my sin,O LORD,
Will they not goastraywho deviseevil?But kindnessand truth[will be to] those who devisegood.
Who [with] perversityin his heartcontinuallydevisesevil,Who spreadsstrife.
A heartthat deviseswickedplans,Feetthat runrapidlyto evil,
and do not oppressthe widowor the orphan,the strangeror the poor;and do not deviseevilin your heartsagainst oneanother.'
Also let noneof you deviseevilin your heartagainst another,and do not loveperjury;for alltheseare whatI hate,'declaresthe LORD."
