The bloodthirsty hate the upright: But the just seek his soul.
The bloodthirsty hate the blameless man, but the upright care for and seek [to save] his life. [Gen. 4:5, 8; I John 3:12.]
The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life.
Murderous people hate the innocent, and they seek the lives of the virtuous.
Bloodthirsty men hate the simple one; but the just seek out his soul.
