From Your precepts I get discernment, therefore I hate every false way.
It is not only the aged who are wise or old men who understand justice.
No base thing will I set before my eyes. Twisted behavior I hate— it will not cling to me.
I have gained more understanding than all my elders, for I have kept Your precepts.
Therefore I esteem all Your precepts as right in every way —every false way I hate.
I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your Torah I love.
Give me understanding, that I may keep Your Torah and observe it with all my heart.
Your mitzvot make me wiser than my enemies —for they are mine forever.
His mouth’s words are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and do good.
You who love Adonai, hate evil! He watches over the souls of His godly ones. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
To fear Adonai is to hate evil. I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and a perverse mouth.
Hate evil, love good, maintain justice at the gate. Maybe Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot will extend grace to Joseph’s remnant.
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.
Let love be without hypocrisy—detesting what is evil, holding fast to the good.
