(Some words not found in UHB: not I_will_put/place at,before eyes,my word/matter_of worthless work who_fall_away hate not cling in/on/at/with,me )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word , you could express the same idea with a verbal form. The idiom, “put evil before my eyes,” means to approve of it. Alternate translation: “I will not approve of anyone doing anything that is wrong in my presence” (See also: figs-idiom)
