The Lord examines both those who do right and those who do evil, but he hates those who love violence.
See how the wicked conceive evil! They are pregnant with trouble. They give birth to dishonesty.
They dig a deep hole to catch people, but then fall into it themselves.
The trouble they cause rebounds to hit them on the head; their violence against others comes down on their own skulls.
Don't be jealous of violent people—don't choose to follow their example!
Those who are good are blessed, but what the wicked say hides their violent nature.
The destruction caused by the wicked will destroy them, for they refuse to do what's right.
Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.
For I hate divorce, says the Lord God of Israel, for it's a violent attack on the wife, says the Lord Almighty. So watch what you do, and don't be unfaithful.
