WhenH4970 will You comeH935 to me? I will walkH1980 withinH7130 my houseH1004 in the 56integrityH8537 of my heartH3824.3I will setH7896 noH3808 7worthlessH1100 thingH1697 beforeH5048 my eyesH5869; I hateH8130 the 8workH6213 of thoseH7846 whoH7846 9fallH7846 awayH7846; It shall not clingH1692 to me.4A 10perverseH6141 heartH3824 shall leaveH5493 me; I will knowH3045 noH3808 evilH7451.5Whoever secretlyH5643 11slandersH3960 his neighborH7453, him I will 12destroyH6789; I will not endureH3201 one who has a 13haughtyH1364 lookH5869 and an arrogantH7342 heartH3824.
