Psalms 101:4-8

4 aA perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will bknow nothing of evil.
5 Whoever slanders his neighbor csecretly
I will ddestroy.
Whoever has a ehaughty look and an farrogant heart
I will not endure.
6 I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in gthe way that is blameless
shall minister to me.
7 No one who hpractices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall icontinue before my eyes.
8 jMorning by morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
kcutting off all lthe evildoers
from mthe city of the Lord.

Matthew 24:45-51

45Who then is acthe faithful and adwise servant,
Greek bondservant; also verses 46, 48, 50
whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
46 afBlessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47Truly, I say to you, aghe will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master ahis delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants
Greek bondservants
and eats and drinks with ajdrunkards,
50the master of that servant will come akon a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place althere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
