The vile person shall be no more called generous, nor the selfish person said to be bountiful.
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
In whose eyes a vile person is despised; but he honors those who fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and does not change.
The schemes also of the selfish person are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
Let not my lord, I pray you, regard this man of Belial, even 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 did send.
