The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Then ye shall return and discern between the righteous man and the wicked man, between him who serves God and him who does not serve him.
in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord whom thou sent.
The wicked walk on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
And the instruments of the churl are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
