So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness.
Good understanding giveth favour: But the way of the treacherous is rugged.
how that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.
A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD: But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD: But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.
