2 He who walks blamelessly does what is right, And speaks truth in his heart;
Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.
He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.
Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates, and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate," says Yahweh.
