Psalms 34:14

PeaceConflict and reconciliationObedienceSin

12 Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?

13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.

Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.

16 But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
