Psalm 34:11-16
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Come children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the [a]fear of the Lord.
12 (A)What man is he that desireth life, and loveth long days for to [b]see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips, that they speak no guile.
14 Eschew evil and do good: seek peace and follow after it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 But the [c]face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.
