4/5

LORD, who may abide in Your taber-

nacle?

Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

He who walks uprightly,

And works righteousness,

And speaks the truth in his heart;

He who does not backbite with his

tongue,

Nor does evil to his neighbor,

Nor does he take up a reproach against

his friend;In whose eyes a vile person is des-

pised,

But he honors those who fear the

LORD;

He who swears to his own hurt

and does not change;

He who does not put out his money at

usury,Nor does he take a bribe against the in-

nocent.

He who does these things

shall never be moved.


5/5

Be it... known that all evil flows in from hell,and all good through heaven from the Lord.But the reason why evil is appropriated to aperson is that he believes and persuades him-self that he thinks and does it from himself,and in this way makes it his own. If he be-lieved as is really the case, then evil wouldnot be appropriated to him, but good from theLord would be appropriated to him; for themoment that evil flowed in, he would reflectthat it was from the evil spirits with him, andas soon as he thought this, the angelswould avert and reject it. For the influx of the

angels is into what a person knows and be-lieves, but not into what a person does notknow and does not believe; for their influx isnot fixed anywhere except where there issomething belonging to the person. (AC 6206)
