Psalm 15

A psalm of David.

¹Lord, who may dwell^(A) in your sacred tent?^(B)
Who may live on your holy mountain?^(C)

²The one whose walk is blameless,^(D)
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth^(E) from their heart;
³whose tongue utters no slander,^(F)
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;
⁴who despises a vile person
    but honors^(G) those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath^(H) even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;

Ezekiel 17:16-20

New International Version

¹⁶“‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die^(A) in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.^(B) ¹⁷Pharaoh^(C) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps^(D) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.^(E) ¹⁸He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge^(F) and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.

¹⁹“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant.^(G) ²⁰I will spread my net^(H) for him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment^(I) on him there because he was unfaithful^(J) to me.
