Psalm 11:5-7
Common English Bible
5 The Lord examines
both the righteous and the wicked;
his very being[a] hates anyone who loves violence.
6 God will rain fiery coals and sulfur on the wicked;
their cups will be filled
with nothing but a scorching hot wind
7 because the Lord is righteous!
He loves righteous deeds.
Those whose heart is right will see God’s face.[b]
