11Come, ye sons, hear ye me; I shall teach you the dread of the Lord.
12Who is the man, that willeth or desireth life; that loveth to see good days?
13Forbid thy tongue from evil; and thy lips speak not guile.
14Turn thou away from evil, and do good; seek thou peace, and perfectly pursue thou it.
15The eyes of the Lord be on just or rightwise men; and his ears be to their prayers.
16But the cheer of the Lord is on men doing evils; that he lose the mind the memory of them from the earth.
17Just or rightwise men cried, and the Lord heard them; and delivered them from all their tribulations.
18The Lord is nigh to them that be of troubled heart; and he shall save meek men in spirit.
19Many tribulations be of just or rightwise men; and the Lord shall deliver them from all these or them.
20The Lord keepeth all the bones of them; one of those or them shall not be broken.
21The death of sinners is worst; and they that hate a just or rightwise man shall trespass.
22The Lord shall again-buy the souls of his servants; and all, that hope in him, shall not trespass.
