4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil. 5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure. 6 My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.
