A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.
Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord, but those of blameless ways are his delight.
But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,
Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.”
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence.
delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.
