10 For the 3:10–12 Ps 34:12–16one who wants to love life
and to see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil 3:10 Jms 1:26
and his lips from speaking deceit, 3:10 Rm 3:13; Jms 3:5–8
11 and let him turn away 3:11 Ps 37:27from evil
and do what is good.
Let him seek peace 3:11 Lk 12:51; 2Tm 1:2; Heb 12:14; 3Jn 14and pursue it,
12 because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against
those who do what is evil. 3:10–12 Ps 34:12–16
