and cleanse us from all wrongdoing. - Blessed are you when people hate you and ostracize you, when they insult you and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.

keep your foot far from evil. - All you need to do is to say ‘Yes’ if you mean ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ if you mean ‘No.’ Anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
