He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God,
Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things.
A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,
With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.
Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.
The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.
The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
And the king said to Semei: Thou knowest all the evil, of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father. The Lord hath returned thy wickedness upon thy own head.
