10For, “1The oneG3588 who desiresG2309 lifeG2222, to loveG25 and seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, Must keepG3973 his tongueG1100 from evilG2556 and his lipsG5491 from speakingG2980 deceitG1388.112He must turnG1578 awayG1578 from evilG2556 and doG4160 goodG18; He must seekG2212 peaceG1515 and pursueG1377 it.123For the eyesG3788 of the LordG2962 are towardG1909 the righteousG1342, And His earsG3775 attend to their prayerG1162, But the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 evildoersG2556G4160.”
