I 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.
I will not even consider doing what is dishonest. I hate doing evil; I will have no part of it.

I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret. I will not tolerate anyone who has a haughty demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

Deceitful people will not live in my palace. Liars will not be welcome in my presence.
