Do not devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells by you securely.

The wicked desires the net full of evils, but the root of the righteous yields fruit.

He devises wickedness on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not despise evil.

Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

You love evil more than good, and lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,

thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

Now these things became examples for us, so that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

Where do wars and fightings come from among you? Do they not come from your lusts that war in your members?

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your lusts.

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The Spirit who dwells in us yearns to envy?

For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a pleasant day. Please give whatever your hand finds to your servants and to your son David.

And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days breaking away each one from his master.

A good man deals graciously and lends; he will guide his affairs with justice.

He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness stands forever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity; to practice hypocrisy and to speak error against Jehovah, to empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to be lacking.

But the noble devises noble things; and by noble things he shall stand.

You who hate good and love evil, who tear their skin off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

who also eat the flesh of My people, and flay their skin off from them; and they break their bones and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh in the kettle.

For judgment will be without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Indeed, mercy rejoices over judgment.

Indeed the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.
