10 For “whoever would love life and see good days must guard his tongue from bad+ and his lips from speaking deception. 11 Let him turn away from what is bad+ and do what is good;+ let him seek peace and pursue it.+ 12 For the eyes of Jehovah* are on the righteous, and his ears listen to their supplication,+ but the face of Jehovah* is against those doing bad things.”+
