Zarathustra condemns those who follow the Lie (Druj) and harm the righteous.

The Kavis and the Karapans have yoked men to evil actions so as to destroy life. Their own soul and conscience shall torment them when they come to the Bridge of the Separator, to be inmates of the House of the Lie for all time.
False priests (Kavis and Karapans) have led people astray and will face judgment.

But when, O Mazda, men learn to honor thy holy Ordinances, there shall the Good Mind of the righteous reveal what truth brings: the reward of Asha for those who follow righteousness.
Those who follow Ahura Mazda and Asha (Truth) will be rewarded.

The wicked ruler is evil in judgment, evil in thought, evil in action. But Vohu Manah shall be the judge over them at the Bridge of the Requiter, where each shall receive according to deeds done in life.
The wicked ruler faces divine judgment; Vohu Manah (Good Mind) is the final judge.
