For an abomination to Jehovah is the perverted, And with the upright is His secret counsel.

And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.

Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers.

A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good.
