who secretly slanders his neighbor;(Y)
I cannot tolerate anyone
with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.(Z)
6 My eyes favor the faithful of the land
so that they may sit down with me.
The one who follows the way of integrity
may serve me.(AA)
7 No one who acts deceitfully
will live in my palace;
no one who tells lies
will remain in my presence.[c](AB)
8 Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
eliminating all evildoers from the Lord’s city.(AC)
