7 Let the wicked man leave his way,+ and the harmful man his thoughts;+ and let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy upon him,+ and to our God, for he will forgive in a large way.+

7 Their own feet keep running to sheer badness,+ and they are in a hurry to shed innocent blood.+ Their thoughts are hurtful thoughts;+ despoiling and breakdown are in their highways.*+

12 And they said: “It is hopeless!+ For after our own thoughts we shall walk, and we are going to carry out each one the stubbornness of his bad heart.”+

19 For example, out of the heart come wicked reasonings,+ murders, adulteries, fornications, thieveries, false testimonies, blasphemies.+

14 But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed* by his own desire.+
