Psalms 34:14 Context
12What man is hee that desireth life; and loueth many dayes, that he may see good? 13Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lippes from speaking guile. 14Depart from euill, and doe good: seeke peace and pursue it. 15The eies of the Lord are vpon the righteous; and his eares are open vnto their crie. 16The face of the Lord is against them that doe euill; to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
