The soul of the wicked desires evil: his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has showed no mercy; and mercy triumphs over judgment.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Whosoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
The wicked desires the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yields fruit.
He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his strength shall be exalted with honor.
A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhors not evil.
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of the wicked;
He that despises his neighbor sins: but he that has mercy on the poor, happy is he.
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a whole house.
