Fools would not be called great men. People would not respect men who make secret plans.
Look at those people! They say good is bad and bad is good. They think light is dark and dark is light. They think sour is sweet and sweet is sour.
You people will come back to me, and you will learn the difference between good and evil. You will learn the difference between someone who follows God and someone who does not.
They hate those who fail to please God and honor those who respect the Lord. If they make a promise to their neighbor, they do what they promised.
I didn’t see the men you sent. Sir, don’t pay any attention to that worthless man, Nabal. His name means ‘Foolish,’ and that is what he is.
The wicked are all around us, and everyone thinks evil is something to be praised!
They use evil like a tool and plan ways to steal from the poor. They tell lies about the poor and keep them from being judged fairly.
