You have wearied the Lord with your words.“ How have we wearied him?” you ask. You have wearied him by saying that all who do evil are good in the Lord’s sight, and he is pleased with them. You have wearied him by asking,“ Where is the God of justice?”

He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might.No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.

They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths.You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees!Then I will not be ashamed when I compare my life with your commands.

The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of the upright.

Because of this, I always try to maintain a clear conscience before God and all people.

Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.

The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth.

“ But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.For I have stayed on God’s paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside.I have not departed from his commands, but have treasured his words more than daily food.

At the moment I have all I need— and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.

I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there. You know I have done all this with good motives, and I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyously.

I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your laws.

The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales, but he delights in accurate weights.

I said to myself,“ I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.”

The Lord detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity.
