A good man obtains favor from the LORD: but a man of wicked purposes will he condemn.
And Absalom said to him, See, your case is good and right; but there is no man appointed by the king to hear you.
A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own purposes.
He who loves instruction loves knowledge: but he who hates reproof is stupid.
He that is soon angry deals foolishly: and a man of wicked purposes is hated.
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to those who devise good.
So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that be swift in running to evil,
For he who finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor from the LORD.
There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither has he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.
