2I will be careful to lead a blameless life-- when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.

2I will walk in the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace.

3I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.

5Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.
