11  ^eCome, O children, listen to me;

^fI will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12  ^gWhat man is there who desires life

and loves many days, that he may ^hsee good?

13  ⁱKeep your tongue from evil

and your lips from ^jspeaking deceit.

14  ^kTurn away from evil and do good;

seek peace and ^lpursue it.

15  ^mThe eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous

ⁿand his ears toward their cry.

16  ^oThe face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

to ^pcut off the memory of them from the earth.
