I have considered my ways, and turned my feet unto Your Testimonies.

I made haste and did not delay to keep Your Commandments.

Through Your Precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

It is time for You to act, O Jehovah, for they have regarded Your Law as void.

I was also perfect before Him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

My son, do not walk in the way with them! Withhold your foot from their path;

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

Why do you gad about so much to change your way? You also shall be ashamed of Egypt, as you were ashamed of Assyria.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live with sound mind, righteously, and godly in the present age,

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

For He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
