    and desires to see many good days,
¹³ keep your tongue^(B) from evil
    and your lips from telling lies.^(C)
14 Turn from evil and do good;^(D)
    seek peace^(E) and pursue it.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord^(F) are on the righteous,^(G)
    and his ears are attentive^(H) to their cry;
¹⁶ but the face of the Lord is against^(I) those who do evil,^(J)
    to blot out their name^(K) from the earth.

“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
¹¹ They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.
¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”^[a](A)
