³ Don’t drag me away with the wicked,
    with those who do evil.
They say “Peace” to their neighbors,
    but evil is in their hearts.
⁴ Pay them back for what they have done,
    for their evil deeds.
Pay them back for ·what they have done [^Lthe work of their hands];
    give them their reward.
⁵ They don’t understand what the Lord has done
    or ·what he has made [^Lthe work of his hands].
So he will ·knock [tear] them down
    and not ·lift [^Lbuild] them up.
