it shall not cling to me.(O)

I will destroy.
A haughty look and an arrogant heart

so that they may live with me;
whoever walks in the way that is blameless
shall minister to me.(R)
7 No one who practices deceit
shall remain in my house;

shall continue in my presence.

all the wicked in the land,
cutting off all evildoers
from the city of the Lord.(S)
