and keep your distance from lips that mislead. - Jesus answered, “As it is written:

his praise was on my tongue. - Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,

his praise will be continually on my lips. - Acquire wisdom and gain understanding;
never forget or turn aside from my words. - He brought you low, allowing you to suffer from hunger.

and defend the rights of the destitute. - I refrained from eating any choice food, abstaining from consuming meat or wine, and I did not anoint myself until those three weeks had passed.
