The soul of the wicked desires evil: his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
He has distributed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.
He devises mischief upon his bed; he directs himself in a way that is not good; he does not abhor evil.
The wicked desires the snare of evil men: but the root of the righteous yields fruit.
He that despises his neighbor sins: but he that has mercy on the poor, happy is he.
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of the wicked;
He who stops up his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
For he shall have judgment without mercy that has shown no mercy; and mercy rejoices against judgment.
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.
