Luxury is not befitting a fool; much less for a servant to rule over princes.

A poor man who oppresses the lowly is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking on the ground like servants.

And I will give youth to be their rulers, and wanton children shall rule over them.

And the people shall be oppressed, man against man, every man by his neighbor. The youth will be insolent against the elder, and the dishonorable against the honorable.

The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings. And he was of the house of Caleb.

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.

Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?

Please, let not my lord set his heart on this man of worthlessness, Nabal. For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

And Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was exceedingly drunk; therefore she did not tell him a word, little or much, until morning light.

And it came to pass, after about ten days, that Jehovah struck Nabal, and he died.

And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread out over the face of the land, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoils which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
