For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.

If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.

They conceive mischief, and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”

You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.

Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,

Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?

Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?

There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.

Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.

The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?

because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.

Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth,

a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.

It is joy to the righteous to do justice; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

“So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’

Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can’t stand evil assemblies.

Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;
