2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
2 Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly, but those who despise him are devious in their ways.
2 Whoever walks in uprightness fears the Lord, but he who is devious in his ways despises him.
2 An honest life shows respect for God; a degenerate life is a slap in his face.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.
2 Those who follow the right path fear the Lord ; those who take the wrong path despise him.
